I hate to get back on the road. We're tired of traveling. We've had enough hotel management classes.

We felt fortunate that we were able to make a basket to get the 11-point run going. All season long, when we've lost the lead in the second half, we just basically folded.

We were fortunate enough to play an outstanding team and come out on top. Maybe we gained some more confidence.

We called it the chamber of horrors in Division II. They've got a new floor and new goals. It's not that big, but it's home for them and I'm sure they're excited about that.

A win (at South Alabama) would have been real positive, but I think we played well enough to not lose a lot of conference games.

It's not something I'm looking forward to, seeing the city. Some people say the sights are just awful, especially if you know the history of the city. Places that were there 50 and 60 years ago are just gone. A lot of tradition is gone.

It was an excellent night for us. We may have created more interest in basketball as an event and, hopefully, we'll draw more of them back as the season goes on.

Anything that can distract from it is good. The overall impact will last a long, long time. It will take the city itself five to 10 years to rebuild, despite the positive reports that are coming from the media.
