Stan Heath Both Quotations

Sean can help us with his shooting and Cyrus with his rebounding, and both can do other things. I'm just glad our freshmen can be our fifth, sixth or seventh options and not our first or second.

To have a player of Patrick's ability available this late in the game is rare. We are very excited about him joining our team. He's an exciting player. He plays hard on both ends of the court. He's a very good shooter with deep range and he has the ability to play both guard positions.

I've got to find them more minutes and get them more involved. They are both tough - Sean with his ability to make shots and Cyrus with his ability to get rebounds.

I'm looking forward to not playing Darrel Mitchell. He's been a thorn in our side. He dunks, falls on his head and comes back and plays. Every year his game has rose up another level. When you switch a player to a new position, you never know how it's going to affect him. It hasn't. It's made him a dual threat. He's had a banner year. If I were to vote for an MVP of the league, I'd go with one (Mitchell) or the other (Davis). I'd ask John which one. Both are dynamite.

They both play really hard. Sean with his ability to make some shots is really valuable to us and Cyrus with his ability to grab some boards is valuable to us, too. Those are two positives I really saw last night.

It's a big game for both teams. It seems to be that way for everybody in the conference. I like the way we're playing. We're doing a great job defensively, and being able to guard people. We've got to pick it up a little bit offensively.

It's just maturity. Those two players have had a great relationship, but they're learning how to complement each other. It makes both of them better, and we want to ride that horse a while longer.

It's an important, important game for both basketball teams. Both teams are coming off good wins that helped us both in a big way, and to continue that momentum for us would be real important. And protecting our home, obviously, is something we've done a good job at and we would like to continue to do so.
