He hit some unbelievable shots. That's one of the best halves of basketball anybody's played against us this year.

I have probably given him too many minutes. Sometimes fatigue sets in, and the first thing it affects is your shot. I have faith he will knock some of those shots down.

His teams have focused more on ball control than on transition. They're going to work hard on the defensive end. They're very similar to his teams at Pitt, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that.

He can take a lot of pride knowing he is playing for a championship now as he leaves Cal. He has worked so hard over the years.

They were a good team then (Dec. 31, first meeting), and they are a good team now. They have some weapons, they are playing solid defense and they are used to winning.

That's the biggest shot Theo has hit since he's been with us.

We can't operate now with our heads down. We're disappointed. We've got basketball ahead of us and we have a huge game Saturday. It's important for our team to bounce back. The natural reaction might be to be down, but we can't afford that. We have to step up.

He's had a chance to work on his shooting and his range. His passing skills have really picked up and he's making the guys around him better.

He hit some tremendous shots. He had a phenomenal second half, knocking down shot after shot.
