The kids are starting to believe. They were unselfish against the press, which is what we wanted them to do.

I really shouldn't be telling you this, but any time a team presses me, it's to my advantage.

I love the guys in that locker room because they have fought through everything.

I now know that chemistry is more important than talent. They adhered to a system, played hard and started to have success. The six wins represent super success.

I'm proud because it could have been a very, very tough season.

I knew our struggles would help us enjoy the good times. These young men have been through a lot this year, but they didn't make excuses. They just went out and executed, and now we're on a pretty good roll.

I love the way my kids compete. To be short-handed and fight the way they fight, you just have to love coaching this team.

They hit their shots, and that's not traditionally what they do. It was just a very tough situation for us in the first half.

They'll have to practice for about 10 days before I play them. They will need to get in shape and prove they're willing to sacrifice before they get back on the court.

Not a lot of people would play the type of schedule we play. These are pay games ? not winnable games. The business of basketball is different for us. We take these games to make x amount of dollars to keep our program running.
