We have a great chance to be an NCAA basketball tournament team if we take care of business night in and night out in our league. Records are deceiving. You can schedule your way into a 10-1 or 11-0 record. I have learned that you’re not going to trick the NCAA tournament selection committee.

Sometimes the game comes out to one shot, and I know he'll be thinking about that shot all night long. It's just part of the game.

I've been asked that question a lot. But I think things work out the way they're supposed to work out.

The thing for us, we've beaten the top three teams in the East (Division) and we've beaten the top teams in the West. Nobody else in our league, I think, has done that.

I've tried to explain to (Davidson) the advantages of him as a senior here, which I think would far outweigh any gamble. He's got a chance to be one of the top big men in the nation.

I sensed we got a little tired. They have a lot more bodies to play. I think they were a little fresher than we were. That's who we are right now.

There's no magic wand you can wave over your team. I know the one response you cannot have is to get down and get disappointed. I don't think our team will do that. Injuries are part of the game. When I was in Kuwait coaching, there was a sign that said 'Adapt and overcome.' That's what we are going to have to do.

There's still things within our team that we're trying to figure out. We need to play better.

Felix is the only guy on the team that can make the pass. We practiced it and had guys throwing it all over the gym.

First of all it's going to be a tremendous challenge. They are ranked third in the RPI and eighth in the AP. They are very underrated and will pose problems for us. On the other hand, our guys are very excited about having the chance to upset a team that is highly ranked.
