He's played a little better in practice, which is why he got an opportunity to play. |
He's playing great. Obviously, in my opinion there's no one in the conference playing as well as he is right now. Any success we've been able to have, he's the reason for it. |
His mother is doing a lot better, and they are hopeful at some point next week she can get out of the hospital. |
His numbers were not as high as anticipated, but that will come. Shawn will be a much better player next year. He'll be bigger, stronger and hopefully he'll start out the season healthier. |
How it started was, our name before that was the Apostles, ... The girls had their own name. |
I don't even know if they heard. Most kids ... they play PlayStation. They don't watch the news or read the paper. |
I don't remember a night like he had in my 30 years of coaching. They moved the ball around from side-to-side, and either they shot or they went inside. |
I don't think he won the game by himself. Obviously, he had a big deal to do with it. ... He's a great shooter and has been on fire lately. You can't leave him open. |
I don't think I can address that without being fined. We foul, but we also sometimes get fouled - every now and again. |
I know for us it has certainly been harder to hold serve at home. We are not pleased even a little bit with what we've done at home. We've had some chances to win some games at home and not won them. |
I recruit kids in the fashion that every time they take the floor, they should be of the mindset that they're going to get to the NCAA Tournament and advance in the tournament. That's what we're trying to build here, but at the same time, I understand that's not always attainable. |
I think it goes without saying, it was very nice to win a home game. |
I think it is going to be very interesting, ... I think it will be very, very competitive. |
I think Shawn is going to have a very good year, but I think Shawn is going to be a freshman, |
I think they can play against any perimeter in the country. |
