We knew we weren't as bad as we looked against Hammond on Feb. 15. I was real pleased at the way we responded.
He's averaging about two points a game, but he can make that shot. He got on a major roll and easily played his best game. We're not a perimeter-oriented team. Heck, we probably made more 3s tonight (seven) than we have all season.
