Mike Denault Quotations

We have been waiting all year long for that to happen. Our defense was our offense early in the game. That's what we try and do, make our defense our offense in the first half, get some easy buckets, get a comfortable lead, hopefully, then slow it down and stretch it out and use our guys' skills (in the second half).

The thing about that is, if you go back and look at most of his shots, most of his points came off lay-ups. He was getting in the passing lanes, anticipating passes and his teammates were pretty generous giving him the ball.

I'd say it could be an ugly game if we don't play well. We're looking forward to that. I think our kids have looked forward to that for a long time.

I am pretty surprised that we were able to do that because we ran a lot. We have good guards who take good care of the basketball.
