Ben Borries Quotations

What made this week even better for him was his defense. He has improving defensively and if he keeps improving in that area our teams is going to get better and better. He is getting his hands up better and he sees the floor a lot better. Instead of focusing on just his individual man now he is seeing the court better where he can come in help out on the help side or beat his man to a spot and that is something we work on every single day with everyone.

He runs our team and controls things very well. He gets better and better every week. He works hard and he's one of those kids that right after a game wants to know how many turnovers he had.

I thank the faculty and administration and students for their support over the years. We have super teachers who are quality people to work with.

Jamison has really been tearing it up. He has been rebounding and passing well and doing a heck of a job for us. All week long he has been playing tremendous.

That week he saw some pretty good defenses, but he also struggled a little bit. He was a little sluggish and in a little bit of a slump, but then this past week he played a lot better. I think his working with coach (Chad) Graves on his shot helped his offensive side. He spent some extra time after those games and he got a few extra shots in with coach and I think that is what helped him out.

We have given up more points, 68 and 71 in back-to-back games, than we had all year. We have to play better defense and make a few more hustle plays, plays that we had been getting throughout the season.

The boys are playing their butts off and playing really good defense. We started clicking after the first of the year, and we're doing a tremendous job of working hard in practice and on game night.
