It really helps. Our guards are tough. … I thought we did a good job in terms of putting pressure on the rim today. In the past I thought we settled for threes in transition and we made a consistent effort at getting to the rim and it really helped our offence. This is probably the most points we’ve scored since we’ve been here and I thought that really helped.” Banton said “my teammates continue to push me whether I have three points or 20 points. Throughout the half, and in the third quarter, they just continued to tell me to turn it on, keep going, keep shooting, keep doing what I have to do in order to get myself going.
