We are behind Blake 100 percent. This is not an uncommon step for a player of Blake's caliber. We are assisting Blake and his family throughout every step of this decision-making process. |
We are going to have to play great to beat them, we know that. We're really excited about it. We have great respect for them. |
We got a couple of timely baskets to keep that short lead there at the end. |
We need him. It might be a while before we get him back. |
We needed a point guard, and I didn't think we had one. I came up and watched him the last day, and I think he was nervous because he knew I came to see him. We finally said let's do this. The day before classes started, we got him signed. |
We think Courtney can step in and contribute right away. He comes from and excellent junior college program that traditionally is a national power. We are thrilled to be bringing a Chicago product back home and this is proof of our commitment to recruit the Chicago area. Courtney will fit in nicely as both a basketball player and as a student. We are excited to add him to the program. |
We're really thankful. It's a decent rivalry without over-the-top crazies. They saw a good game. |
