The little things in the first half, I think that's what lost the game for us. We had silly turnovers, fouls on 3-point shooters, not blocking out (Brian) Randle and stuff. Stuff like that, we need to toughen up.

I don't really know, it could go both ways. We have experience going through the NIT. But we've been through it and we wanted to make another step, a bigger step. We can either hang our heads or try to finish it, the way Coach said.

I realize I can get points off the glass. When teams are taking me away on the offensive end, I can get them off the glass, so I've been concentrating on that in practice.

I just knew I had to produce to help make this team be good. If I can produce, this team we have can be real dangerous.

I just have to play as hard as I can when I get in there. I kind of expected this. Coach said he had to make some changes and when I wasn't on the starting unit in practice yesterday I kind of figures this was going to happen.

It was good to get my strength back, my health back.

This isn't a good feeling. We've been wanting to get respect, but you have to earn it. Today we didn't earn it.

I've been a little under the weather the last two games but now I'm getting my strength back. It felt really good to be out there helping the team.

I've been sick for the last couple of games, and just not feeling good or eating much. Tonight, I felt like I could play a lot and be productive out there, and it's good to have my health and strength back.

We say that all the time, that when teams come in here, they always have the best shooting day. We let teams get going, and once they get going, it's hard to stop somebody.
