He misses playing. He prepared really hard for his senior year. It has been tough on him.

Anthony worked his tail off. He had a great spring, summer and fall. So he's had some success because of it.

I thought he did everything he could tonight. Everyone will look at his 20 points, but I thought his defensive effort was pretty good.

When we have an opportunity to play the larger schools, they see the difference is just not there. Basketball is a home-and-road sport and, traditionally, the big schools have always played at home. Now when the smaller schools get them on a neutral court, the gap is not what the public perceives it to be.

I'm kind of taking a wait-and-see attitude. In the past I'm not sure it's helped us a great deal or hurt us a great deal, but it has given us some exposure on that Saturday.

They've won a lot of games in a lot of different ways. Buzzer-beaters, last-second shots. We've had our chances, we just haven't been able to get over the hump the last few years.

That's probably the third game they've won for us this year. The crowd wouldn't let us quit.

Of the 15 shots he took, I'm not sure how many of them were good looks. We did a good job contesting his shots. Any time you hold him under 10 points, you have a good shot to win.

We've won some games we shouldn't. We probably lost some games we should've won. We just need to focus on getting better. If a few weeks down the line we're still in the hunt, we can talk about it later. But it's too early for our team to be talking about anything like that.
