Head coach Steven Jackson: “I think we are playing well right now overall as a team. We’re not where we need to be yet, but we’re making progress and hopefully we’ll start to peak soon and continue to get better. I love coaching LaDarius. He’s a savvy basketball player and he has a very high basketball IQ. He lets the game come to him and gets the entire team involved. His ball handling is better, his decision making is better, and he’s a vocal leader. The entire team respects him.”
Godbolt: “I think we have had tough matchups but we have played better right now and we’re only getting better. We’ve been pushing through and the team all respects each other. I think we have really good chemistry and we’ve all played together for so long. As for myself, I just want to continue to let the game slow down and take control when I can. The most important thing is winning as a team.”
