It's still a work in progress sometimes as to how he's going to get the ball to the basket. But he's practiced real well, he's a real good talker on defense, and he's better with the ball than even I would give him credit for.
More Quotes from Phil Martelli:
You don't have throw him the ball, you don't have to run a play, and you don't have to run screens for him -- he scores without the ball. And he's comfortable with the physical nature of the game some big guys in college look for a foul on every play, but he just plays through that.Phil Martelli
I thought coming in that there was no clear two (seed) and there was no clear 12. Maybe you say Richmond was 12, but there's a lot of teams that think they can win it now.

To me, it's about the kids and how tough they've been. It's really not about sticking our chests out. We're one of the best teams in the country and the best story in college basketball.

You know it's coming. You know they're going to go on a run You watch enough of their games and you know it's going to happen. I've watched six of their games and I knew what was coming. You just hope you have the plays in your repertoire to withstand it. We didn't. It got away from us.

One of the things we don't do is that we don't penetrate. We don't have that ability on our team. We have one guy who can get by people on the dribble, and right now his knowledge of basketball is such that he can't find the open player. We just don't put pressure on the defense to make them help. We've allowed teams to play us head-up. If you're not getting the shot in that sweet spot, it's not going to go down easily.
