We are excited to have David join our program, ... He is a fine young man who represents all that we look for in a student-athlete at FAU. He's a good person and a good student from a good family. As a player, he gives us another ball handler who can run the team while putting terrific pressure on opposing guards. We were fortunate to find him at such a late date.

Stetson scored 23 points off turnovers. We have to take care of the ball and take good shots. We have to make the easy play because Gordon sits back there like a free safety picking off passes.

We have to play the hottest team in the conference and we didn't play particularly well against them last time. Stetson has as good of a chance as anyone to win this thing. We need everybody operating on all cylinders.

We had our (big) men helping bring the ball up. So, if we were able to break the press, we had good scorers who were able to stop and shoot on the other end. This team is getting smarter, and we know who should take (the shots).

It's like any divorce. If you see your ex-wife at the grocery store, either she's going to throw a bunch of eggs at you, or you're going to have a genuinely enjoyable conversation. To be able to see those guys and laugh with them and reminisce a little bit was good for my soul.

We didn't play hard for the first five minutes of the second half. For whatever reason, that happens.

We did an outstanding job of controlling the ball. Offensively, we moved it around effectively and efficiently against their zone. Defensively, we trapped and got North Florida out their rhythm. That was a great effort by our team.

We couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. We got decent looks, we just couldn't make a basket.

Carlos gave us a big lift when the NCAA finally cleared him to play. His rebounding, scoring and ability to pass elevated our team's play considerably.

Leaving Florida was hard. At first I didn't want to leave, at first I didn't want to look at another job because we have a lot of work to do there yet...but this was an opportunity here for me professionally and for my family was that was just a great fit. It had 'Matt Doherty' written all over it.

We really don't have a true point guard. It's kind of unfair to put him in that position.
