Every time I looked around, another guy was coming in the game. They are a long team, and they are all good.

Their offense centers around penetration, draw-and-kick. Almond is one of the best two-guards in the conference so we have to focus on him and take the perimeter guys out of the game.

I think we're playing better than we have all season and playing better as a team.

We've got to take the good with the bad. We can't put our heads down. We've got to bounce back and react.

We just gave it away. Only thing I was thinking was we worked too hard to give this away.

To me, I've got more respect for him than I do anybody. (Not just anybody) would give everything they've got knowing they're not going to play.
