They were causing havoc. They were really extended. We just got mixed up on what we were running, which caused us to panic a little bit. It was a deep shot I had to take.

That's what w e want, that's the challenge we took coming into this season. We just have to keep making a name for ourselves.

People think of West Virginia in a whole different way now. They know, if you're going to play West Virginia -- football or basketball -- you better be ready.

The six seed is fine with me. Any seed would have been fine with me. Just to be in the NCAA Tournament with this coaching staff and the four other seniors and myself, that's where I want to be.

We were down to 10 on the shot clock a couple of times. You definitely take the air out of team's sails when you do that. We made tough shots down the stretch. I think that bothered them. They weren't concentrating on offense.

We've played in pro arenas before, and the NBA line messes us up. We've already called, and they said they're not going to have it (NBA arc) down, so that's good.

We're excited to play at the Garden. You just get a feeling when you walk into the gym.

We're a little worn down, but I think my dad does a good job trying to get us rest when we're not playing. We've reached the point of the season where you just have to keep playing through it.

You don't expect easy games this time of the year. This is what you work for all fall and winter, why you practice. You have to get to every loose ball, dive for everything. Every possession could be your last.

It feels sweet. Not too many programs get to go back-to-back years to the Sweet 16 and beyond unless you're an elite program like Duke or those guys. To experience this the last two years is something that we're very excited about.
