Too big and too strong at every position. It becomes a case of, how do you want to play them? They made one of those phenomenal runs on us and the show was over.

Guys like Winchester, Benson and Job (Casimir) when they?re pushing the ball they give us energy. Victor is one of those guys because he can get a steal in the post, block a shot, get a rebound, he gives us energy on defense.

We gave them a good battle for 17 minutes. I just think (Connecticut) is so good, so well-coached. They just made one of those phenomenal runs on us and the show was over.

They made it difficult to run our offense. We could never really get our offense going. I need to do a better job of getting these guys to be a little more disciplined. I want them to continue to play loose, but I don?t want them to settle for the first shot.

We gave them a good battle for 17 minutes. I promised my team that when I watch the tape tomorrow I won't look at the scoreboard. I'll look at how we played. We played hard. They made one of those phenomenal runs on us and the show was over.

We stuck with what we do and we made plays. These kids deserve credit. Craig made the big shot and we made enough free throws down the stretch.

Reality is always good. Kids want to hear it?s new. They know the floor?s going to be nice, the locker rooms are going to be nice. That helps.

I told John to be a sparkplug, come off the bench and give us a boost.

We don?t seem to be doing a good job of finishing halves strong. That falls on my shoulders.
