It's a play that's designed to get him a shot, but I can't take too much credit. I designed plays for 39 minutes in this game that made us look like one of the worst offensive teams in history, so ... he deserves the credit for making a really good play.

It was a tough make, but it was clearly after the horn went off. We did get it up there pretty quickly. I think by the guy running up on him, it didn't allow him to turn and square as soon as he would've liked to.

I think it feels very good to get the win. We've played very hard lately but we haven't been able to get results. We were able to get the monkey off our back.

I started him in the second half, that's how it works. If you produce, you play.

I think Hassan, Geffen [and] Macon all played very well. Considering that Gardner didn't play, this was an import game.

I thought our kids gave a real gusty effort. They didn't appear to be intimidated by the circumstances, which is a good thing for us.

The kid is a very good shooter, as good as I've recruited since I've been a coach here. He's gonna miss some shots but you have to go with him.

This is the best game he's played in college. He was very efficient, very active on both ends of court. He did a real nice job.

I think the defense is playing hard. But still, our margin for error is not that great. There are still defensive breakdowns. In the second half, we don't guard a couple of screens, leave a guy and he hits a 3 at a critical time.
