bit breaking good happy lift marshall played reason since
I was really happy to see Marshall play as aggressively as he did on the glass. I thought that was a big lift for us, and that's the one reason he scored, too. We've got to have better play from him. It's good to see him kind of breaking through a little bit since he hasn't played as well as of late.

The only redeeming thing about it is it's the first game. I'm stunned with our effort and togetherness.

We're still learning how to win. If there's one thing I've learned to do the last two years, it's to block stuff out.

We've got certain standards in practice and in games and we'll play the guy that meets those standards consistently.
ability context earn encouraged felt guy provide scoring stepped within
I think he's had to earn that. He's a guy that has some ability, that we felt like if he stepped up could provide us with some scoring punch. We encouraged him to do that, but within the context of our team.
certainly context earn encouraged felt guy obviously provided stepped type within
I think he has had to earn that. We certainly felt like he was the guy we wanted to see do these type of things because he's a guy who has some ability. But he has stepped up and provided some scoring. I obviously encouraged him to do that, but within the context of our team.
