“It was a great atmosphere with some of the top programs in the country. It was a state tournament-type game and a great experience for our kids. A first-class situation.”
“Nobody contacted him anymore. Like a breakup. Boom, it's over. You're talking to these guys once a week. They're writing to Doug once a week, and then he committed and it ended. That was it.”
“They were just throwing guys at Dougie and it was hard to get into a flow. It was up to us to try to settle down, make the extra pass and get to the foul line.”
“I say this with all due respect. It wasn't a typical game for him. He missed a lot of shots. He missed a lot of free throws. But obviously he gets us going. He's the key to what we do.”
“It's basically Doug [Wiggins] and four new starters. It shows not only how good he is, but how good the others have been to make the jump from not playing varsity to having to fill in spots that we didn't anticipate.”
