We have to have that road mentality, where you're not going to win or lose in a 5-minute stretch. Just ratchet it up and stay disciplined and stay strong and hope at the end of 40 minutes you've made enough plays.

I can't say I'm excited or happy about the results, but I'm not disappointed that we can quit talking about mid-major polls, about hosting tournaments, winning tiebreakers and crap like that. We can just jump in and start focusing on trying to win the next game. When 14 (games) are over we'll see where we are.

It's important. We'll approach it like we do the rest of them. We need to start clicking on all cylinders here.

A couple of things were shored up. They absolutely dominated us defensively. They were playing hard on that end of the floor. They dictated the tempo.

Kevin played like a senior.

It's a neat deal. He's brought some leadership this year and is working his tail off.

I think Jordan can be a great spark off the bench. This will give us a little different dynamic. Sharp leads our team in rebounds per minutes (played). And that's got to be a focus for us this weekend.

I don't really feel like there are mismatches in this league, especially when you're on the road. Weber's got some guys who can really play; they just haven't put it together at the same time.

I just want to go at it with a workmanlike approach where everybody's going to put on their old hard hat and dig in for 40 minutes.
