bothered confidence great last nice senior strong tournament year
That is nice for him, and last year in the tournament he struggled. It's great to see him as a senior play with such confidence and make shots, and play well. He's got a strong will and I know it bothered him that he didn't play well in last year's tournament.

This is obviously a devastating injury for Curtis and our program. Fortunately, Curtis is incredibly strong, physically and emotionally. I know he will bounce back stronger and better than ever.

I hope so. I don't want to go inside against inside against them. But there's a lot of similarities, too. They're very strong and aggressive defensively. They like to play fast. And so do we.

I never thought we could get a player from a nationally renowned program. I knew there was a strong spiritual aspect to him and great intelligence.
adjustment australia credit game gave great guys half playing second smaller strong
I thought we started the game really strong and were very focused, which is a credit to our guys playing at 10:30 in the morning. I thought Australia made a great adjustment in the second half by going to a smaller lineup which gave us trouble.

The bad news is, he's still pretty ill. He's got a high fever. He's still feeling the effects of tonsillitis. We don't know when we're going to get him back.
