We have to keep fighting, trying to find ways to win the game. As a team we know we can win games if we shoot in the 30s -- if we play defense like we did in the second half.

It felt great to get to this point. But we have to stay humble.

Coach is telling us over and over about effort. We've got to stop talking about effort. Everybody's got to go out there and play hard.

The last couple of years, we didn't have that. Now, when you mess up, you're going to know. We're a much better team.

All the hard work we put in came to the (forefront).

If we keep playing the way we are, we'll be all right.

We started settling for a lot of jumpers. Jumpers that we usually hit we weren't hitting tonight, and that killed us.

I think the Duke game really helped us for this one. We're more calm, and I think we're going to go out there and play our game.

We weren't playing the way we (had been) playing. We were playing just to run out the clock.
