That year he learned to take a business-like approach to practice, not just coming in some days, be good and then take some days off like some players do. He's allowed himself to be more consistent by taking that approach to practice.
Every year there's always going to be some team that you have a challenge beating them. This year was Howard. We hope other years that's the exception.
It affected us a lot especially in the first half where maybe we could have created some room between us and them. I also played (Smith) in one of the power forward positions which I haven't done all year long and it kind of got us out of rhythm.
That's going to be my theme the rest of the year that we make all the plays where both teams have an opportunity to get the ball. I thought that's an area where we were exposed when we played at Howard College.
