The first half was tough. There were so many fouls called, it was tough to get into a rhythm. Obviously it's good to go into halftime ahead. Charles made a great play. He drove and I just found an open spot and knocked it down. It gave us good momentum.

He's not going to put any added pressure on me. He just told me to go out and enjoy the moment, because the NCAA Tournament doesn't happen every day. But I'm sure he would like it if we got a little bit of revenge for him.

I don't think any of us ever dreamed of being nationally ranked or getting some of the attention we've gotten. We just keep fighting and it keeps getting better. Hopefully we continue it, but we've still got a long way to go.

I don't think there's any team that necessarily scares us. But you don't really want to play them either. But that's part of the tournament. You play only good teams. We'll be ready if we get there, but we have a long way to go.

He?s so intense during competition that he?s not going to change.

It helps solidify what happened last year. It shows it wasn't a fluke.

I'm sure they're going to come after us, just like we did last year.

That's as good a job as somebody's done guarding the three against us all year. They're so long and athletic. And the pressure, they get you going so fast. Even when you do get a second to get a shot up, maybe you're rushing a little bit here and there.

I turned to Abe with about 16 minutes left, when we were down by about 15, and I said, we can still win this game. He looked in my eyes, and you could just tell he believed it. We believed it, we all believed it. We've been in those positions before.

It was a great win for our program. It was a tremendous experience for us, but it was last year.
