"
This is a great opportunity for a lot of guys. Coach always says it, but it really is. No one can really think that they're not part of the group that it's a good opportunity for, and think, 'Ah, I'm already here.' Everyone who's playing a lot might not be playing as much on a really good team with a great record.
"
He's one of the best players in the league right now, at 18. You can only imagine what he'll be like four years down the road.
"
I don't know. It obviously was an accident, but you never know. He's their best player. We'll see what happens as the game goes along, but I really haven't thought about it too much.
"
In practice, you see him score a lot on breakaways. He's got a great shot. He's got real good hands, so I wasn't surprised at all.

"
They're one of the best teams in the league, and we played them real well last time. If we can do that again, hopefully, we'll have the same result.
"
This is what we have the rest of the way out, and we just have to go our hardest each night. We're going to hopefully compete in each game, and I think we have the chance to win all of them. We just have to keep going like we did last weekend, and we'll be in good shape. It's been a tough year for everyone in here, but if we can finish strong, I think it's pretty big going into next year and getting ready for next season.
