He's a perfect example of perseverance. He just hung in there and got his opportunity and it worked out for him.

He's the biggest man I've ever seen in my life. He comes in and gives us a big boost off the bench. We've played teams where they'd literally drive in and turn around.

He's starting to feel that senior year, season, and career coming to an end.

I'm not worried about where I'm going to play him. I'm going to play him. I'm going to put him on the floor and he's going to help us win.

If John Bunch is going to become a player, it's not going to happen overnight. It will happen between April and October. He's going to need to really work. He's going to need to get in shape and he's going to have to make a decision after this taste. Maybe he sees a light at the end of the tunnel and he goes after it and wants to become a player, because he could be a very good player if he does.

I'm sure their defense had a lot to do with our shooting, but when you are a coach you don't see it that way. You look at what you didn't do.

I kept reminding him (Kenny) that if he didn't start making shots we wouldn't let him play.

They were tougher than we were. They got loose balls, they got re-bounds.

It (the exposure) might help down the road with younger kids.

It's a matter of the stars having to be lined up right and things going well for the 16 seed and not so well for the one seed. But that margin is closing a little bit.
