We maintained our poise and continued to run through our offense. (Allen's) a really good player, and sometimes there's a letdown after someone like him leaves the game.

If you're serious about it, you have to put in your time. Do more than just show up for the all-star game.

I'm so proud of these guys. Nobody ever figured us to get this far. It was a special year. These are special young men.

They push each other. It's what you have to have in order to be a successful team.

Without that regular competition in a week, it's hard to estimate what it's going to take for 32 minutes. We didn't give a 32-minute effort. We'll go back to work.

These guys want more. They're not easily satisfied. What they want to try to accomplish is something they're willing to put a lot of effort into.

My goal is to see if I can make them better. Knowledge is power. What we have to offer is an opportunity to learn more about the game. An opportunity where you can grow as player.

It's fun to be around their infectious joy for the game and the unity they have for one another. They pull for each other. There is no individual greater than the whole.

It's just another game. The stakes don't change.
