Congrats on the huge 89-70 win over Grevenbroich. The winning train just continues to roll on. How good does this 19 point win feel? Back to back blow outs for BG Hagen.

Thank you. We’re playing some very good basketball right now and everyone is healthy and doing their part. It feels really good because they didn’t believe they should’ve lost to us the first game so we had to quiet all the noise.

Talk a bit about the 40 minutes. Did BG Hagen lead from start to end and did it suffer any adversary?

We started the game very well and kept the lead the entire game I believe. But before the end of the first half we blew a huge lead and were only leading by 4 then but we weren’t at all nervous. We honestly didn’t play the best this game but still were able to get a convincing win.

Is it fair to say that defensive pressure and efficiency and the 2 point area were the big keys for the win?

For sure. From the guards to the bigs, we put crazy pressure on them and forced many turnovers and errors that they couldn’t get out of. On offense we played free and essentially had our way but only our own mistakes made it a little difficult.

BG Hagen forced the opponent to 24 turnovers. Was that one of the best team defensive performances of the season?

Definitely, our bigs stepped up huge with big blocks that didn’t show up on the box score and the guards put some of the best pressure on them this season.

Malik Bullock only played 3 minutes. Is he still being groomed a bit before getting bigger minutes?

Yeah Malik is still trying to catch his rhythm and feel comfortable with us but trust that he will be in there making a big impact for us real soon.

You had another exceptional game with 34/12/5/5. How much fun is it having to do so much for the team?

This is how I’ve always been since college and it’s the only way I know how to play. I love being able to contribute in every aspect of the game and put my team in a position to win and I’m thankful that my body allows me to do so also.

The 7 turnovers scared me. How annoying is inconsistency for you?

I knew at the end of the game I would have many turnovers because I lost the ball way too many times to count and it’s most annoying because they were unforced.

You next play Hamm who you lost 92-84. The revenge factor must be huge. How key will it be this time to stay awake on the glass?

This is a huge game for us and a must win. We know where we need to improve from last game and I’m confident that it will be ready to go. Being back at home is the major key because we haven’t lost yet at home.

Thanks Shawn for the chat.
