I think this is great on a couple of levels because it allows a new coach to have his entire team together and it allows you to have a choice between practices and skill development,
He's a pro. He's got the full package. There's very little he can't do. Great players find a way to get it done. He's going to score his points and get his rebounds.
He's 7 feet; he's just big. Fortunately for us, he's not a great offensive player, so if you play behind him and make him take shots over the top, you have an opportunity (to rebound).
It's disappointing for my guys. But the great thing about it is that before this season started, who would have thought that we'd be disappointed by not making the N.I.T.? So the glass is definitely half full.
This is a great opportunity for us to potentially get what I would call an extremely quality win on the road. And a home-and-home is really great because, if we were to pick, this is a game we would try to schedule anyway. I think it's a good one, and we're looking forward to it.
