At the end of the third, the bench really stepped in and provided us with an outstanding lift. |
Both times he got up and kept playing. |
Elvin, in practice and the last two, three games, has been phenomenal. We all know what he can do defensively, but he's been phenomenal at both ends. |
First and foremost, we have Anthony Goldwire back. With Goldy, I see us executing much better at the offensive end. I see everyone being involved in the offense and I see far less soft offensive possessions. |
From a selfish standpoint, for me, he's a great basketball player. But for the franchise, and for everything Ronny has done in this state, it's the biggest one we've ever had. And he hasn't even stepped on the floor yet. |
He (Barbour) didn't foul him. |
He earned my respect. He played with more passion that the rest of the team combined. |
He'll allow us to go big and still be athletic. He gives us that presence inside. |
He's a big guy. We let him get too many offensive rebounds in the second half. |
He's come a long way. He's learned a lot about the game and does a great job communicating with the other players. |
He's everything he was billed to be. |
I hope, at some point, we're all going to understand the importance of defense and how good a team we can be if we play defense. |
I put a lot of weight into being a good teammate as opposed to talent. From the minute he got here, he didn't big-time anybody. He got online. Checked out our team, knew our roster, knew our record and did a little research. I think guys respected that. |
I was completely positive at halftime. I knew we were too good to shoot 25 percent. We just had to keep working and I knew things would fall into place. |
If that's something I have to worry about, we're in trouble. But honestly, I don't think that's a concern. |
