I know he's got experience because he's been down here a lot as a coach. Everybody knows they shouldn't have lost that game, but he never really discusses that. He talks about this year's team and what we can do.

Anytime you get an opportunity to go out and play with such a great group of kids and a great coach, you want to go out there and do it. I'd never turn down a chance to play basketball.

It was pretty annoying. They really got out beyond the 3-point line and pressured our shooters.

I took it upon myself to faceguard (Hill). He was making shots, but we weren't contesting him.

It's just part of basketball. The only thing I wanted to do afterward is make the free throws.

All 15 guys on that bench can play defense. (Curran) gives us that desire that we can do this.

I've always been able to score; this year I'm more of a playmaker who can score.

We were prepared for their 1-3-1 trap. We watched a lot of film and knew all the nooks and crannies.

We gave it all we had. That's been our main focus this year. We came out tonight and did some different things. ... We just love to play basketball. For third place, fifth, sixth, first or second, any time we can play, we'll play.

We knew we had to get this game going into the big one on Friday. In this conference we can't overlook anybody.
