We had opportunities and just did not make the play. I was disappointed that we did not capitalize, whether it was Jihad going 0-for-9 or Cedric McGowan not rebounding on the defensive end.
We've even thought about toying around with playing him, Cedric (McGowan) and Eric (Hicks) together. We're going to have to explore all of our options. We have to try to maximize what we have.
(SU is) terribly athletic, they're long. Terrence Roberts is probably more of a face-up, mid-post guy, but Watkins has always been a force at the basket.
The biggest strength of this team is our resiliency. They've just been terribly resilient through all the obstacles that have been thrown at them. They continue to fight and find a way.
You can never have enough size on the front line. ... But we're pleased that of the six guys that were in his predicament, five of the six are coming.
He's been playing exceptionally well. In the LSU game, he was the guy they went to down the stretch, so we know he's good. But we tried to pick our poison a little bit. This is a team with a Hall of Fame coach and a lot of good players.
It's not anticlimactic for us. We've just turned our attention to them and we're ready to get going.
There's nobody we can pick up on waivers. We've got to deal with it as it is and do the best job we can.
(His loss) makes us change things schematically.
