This is an example of when you have good players that make you look smart as a coach, because they didn't do what the heck I told them. Thank God for that and thank God they went and made a play.

I told our kids we've got to relax, calm down and play. I could tell with tournament time it was a different time and we were pretty tight. I reiterated to them that you've got to relax and go play the game. They made me look smart.

I told the guys if you look at our losses its either the turnover battle or the rebounding battle that we haven't won. Those are the two major battles you've got to win in a ball game if you're going to have a chance to win. It (Rebounding advantage) was a big margin and that wins you ball games.

At the end Randy knocked down eight in a row and that was huge. He was very calm, stepped to the line with confidence and it was nothing but net every single time. There was no babying the basketball. It was' I'm going to knock it down, I'm positive and that's what happened.

He's (Miller) very athletic and I think as the game went on we got better at defending him and picking up his characteristics and what he likes to do with the basketball and we did a better job as the game went on. Hopefully we can carry that knowledge into this game and do a better job of defending him.

This is a good win. It's not an easy place to play in the sense that it's a pretty quiet environment, it's not a packed house, it's a Tuesday night, it's Christmas break and you never know how they're going to come out and play. These guys, every night, I've never seen them not ready to play in the seven games we've had.
