I think we match up well against them. We are really very much alike. I didn’t know much about them at first, but I know that they can shoot the ball, have good quick guards...

Hopefully, he will be back. He’s the one who brought us this far. We’re making another appearance in the NCAA tournament, so he has to be doing something right.
