Even though I knew we were fatigued, I sensed something was missing. We got that back this week.

Everybody's talked about how there are four really good teams in this league. I've said all along there are five. Missouri State is an NCAA Tournament team.

First of all, my gratitude to the donor goes beyond words. To think someone views our program in such regard that they would be willing to make a substantial financial donation to supplement our program, it's really hard for me to fathom. I'm very appreciative.

For him to step up and have the game he had shows what he's made of, and why he's our starting point guard.
|
For our league to be this good, and to go however many weeks into this season and this is the first time one of our teams is ranked, has really been too long.
|
For us, it's because we're better and we have sustained a good record for a few years. Combine that with the fact that the league is better, and people want to see these good games.

Given his situation, I don't think there's any question. He needs the time. He's doing things every game better than he did the game before, but a week of practice and time off his foot will benefit him.
|
He indicated to me that if he's a first-round pick, it's in his best interests to go (pro). And if he's not (selected), then he would return to school.
|
He just had a great feel and a tremendous passion for the game.
|
He sees things while the action is going on that other coaches don't see. If there are holes in an offensive or defensive scheme, he's got the creative mind to take advantage of that. And he's a teacher of the game. I just think he's more than ready.
|
He's evaluating his options with his family. He has to sort out what he wants.
|
He's so valuable off the bench for us, and in a way I'd like to keep him there. But we also need a good defender on the floor to start the game. . .
|
He's too good a player to do the same thing. We just tried to help in different ways.
|
His body looks better; he's handling the ball better. And Ben's never lacked confidence.
|
His foot was really bothering him tonight. He probably shouldn't have played at all. Had John Little not sprained his ankle, he probably would not have played.
