He played essentially a second season with the Greek national team. I'm a little concerned about that, because (Wednesday night against Rhode Island), he looked a little bit tired. I've been concerned all year with the volume of games he's played and that it could become a problem.

I don't think everybody thought they would have the impact they did. I knew both kids were confident in their ability and I knew they were talented.

I do think it was the biggest win of the year. At the time we beat Xavier, I thought that was the biggest win, but since they have kind of fallen on harder times, it doesn't seem as big.

I could tell right away before the first media timeout that we were ready to defend.

I certainly haven't coached a better guard tandem. They've done a remarkable job this year, especially in light of the expectations that were on them when they came in. They've certainly lived up to those, and maybe beyond it.

If Ian gets drafted, that's going to hurt us, there's no way around it. What can I say? I don't think even if we find out he gets drafted in June, we can find someone to replace him in that short period of time, no matter where in the world we look.

His guy got free a couple times. He had three turnovers in the first 10 minutes. I don't want to lay blame on any one person. He got off to a slow start.

His leadership style is who he is. He's very abrasive. If his teammates were honest, some would say they don't like it at all. I've always felt when you ask a kid to lead, you have to ask them to be who they are. Anthony is who he is. He'll stop practice if he doesn't think his teammates are working. If nothing else, he's not afraid to be in front. He's not afraid to lead.

I'll never limit his time during a game, but we'll give him days off from practice. I've never done that in my career, but this is a special case.

In the five years I've been here, this is the biggest game we've had. This one's kind of special.
