Missing that time and not practicing since right around Christmas, he's very, very rusty. The ability to play him those 16 minutes is going to help us in those next four games. Getting back into the flow of the defense and rebounding will be Monty's most difficult task.

I was with an NBA scout before the game, a buddy of mine. He said this is the second-most athletic team in the country, right behind [third-ranked] Memphis. I have seen some very good teams. They are as good as anybody around. They have a good chemistry. You have to have senior leadership. You have to have seniors to win. ... They have all the ingredients.

I'd take 10 of him. He's a warrior. He's just a guy who's going to win you a lot of games. You look at the teams who go to the Elite Eight or the Final Four or the ones who win conference championships, and those teams have two or three guys like him.

They definitely can. It's going to be as difficult, maybe more difficult, this year, though. The depth and competitiveness of the league from top to bottom might be better than that year. That was a tremendous, tremendous team, obviously.

We went in there short-handed. We competed and got it down to the wire. Those are the games where you have to figure out a way to make a big shot or get a big stop. We've been able to compete with very good teams but not been able to get over the hump.

We have to do a better job than that. We haven't had the lead and had to get it inbounds at the end very often in the last few weeks.

That's a heck of a team we played tonight. Unselfish, 21 assists in 29 baskets. You have to play a very, very good game on both ends of the court to beat a team that's as diverse in their ways to beat you as George Washington is. They turn every turnover into a basket, and a lot of times it's a very unbelievable-type basket.

He's feeling better. He's had a week off and he's been in a (walking) boot for a week. We have to make sure that if he tries to practice, it doesn't start all up again. We want to make sure he's healthy, which obviously puts us in a difficult situation. But we have to do what's best for the kid.
