Whenever you face Southern, you are going to see the same thing. You are going to see physical defense and guys that believe they are going to win, no matter what the score is.

I thought our defense is what was keeping us in the game, even though we were throwing the ball all over the gym.

There were possessions were it seemed like we were defending 90 seconds in a row.

The students are our sixth man. They pump us up and I think we play much better with the students behind us. We have a comfort level when we play at home.

We knew he could shoot it. We talked about it before the game. We talked about it for the last three days. We just gave him wide open looks, and he can knock them down.

Their defense is their trademark. They take you out of everything you want to do offensively. We have to execute on offense and we have to be physical with them.

The thing about Southern is they never get uneasy. They think they are going to win the whole time. Southern never plays on their heels.

They had a bunch of offensive rebounds (nine) for baskets. They cut us in the heart because they were offensive rebounds for baskets. I think all of their offensive rebounds were for baskets.
