I hate to be evasive, but I am just not going to comment.

He has gotten better at defense, and his shooting has improved. If any one player won the game for us, it was him.

I didn't know if he had it in him, quite frankly. I didn't know if he was going to quit or if we were going to have to kick him off the team. Sometimes there was a lack of effort, and his attitude wasn't the best, but he's come a long way since then and I'm proud of him.

He's the only guy on the team that really commands a double-team. ... That says something about a freshman. Now we have to be able to adapt when that occurs to take advantage of the double-team.
