We wanted to kill the clock. We wanted to get Lance isolated so he could make the shot.

They’ve made him a combo guard. They need him to score more. He’s been a special player in this league.

The 2-0 start gives us tons of confidence. Confidence is huge, in anything you do in life.

We came out and executed the game plan and played extremely well. It was just a good all around win.

That was an example of a really good team running its offense. We worked all week on the stuff they do. But they just did a great job of executing.

I think our shot selection is better now, too. The guys are becoming familiar enough with each other that now they find guys in situations where they can be successful.

When he came off the bench, we targeted in on him.

I knew we weren’t going to keep shooting the basketball like that. The best thing about the way we’re shooting it now is, not only are we making shots, we’re making tough shots.

After the Saint Martin’s game (a 105-104 overtime win on Feb. 11), we did something we hadn’t done since I’ve been here. We took Sunday and Monday off (instead of Sunday only), and then we...

There is still a lot of basketball to be played.

I just told them, look, we’ve got to go on a run. I mean, our playoff hopes are on the line here. We’ve got to fight a little bit.

We played a tough schedule that allowed us to enter the West Regional tournament and we’re excited to be there. The team deserves this opportunity.

We are thrilled to have the chance to face a team we are familiar with in Seattle Pacific.

It is nice to see five GNAC teams selected for the regional. It provides our conference with a lot of much-deserved credibility.
