I didn't sleep for two days thinking about this game. Reed has too many good shooters.

We called a timeout (trailing 71-65 with 1:45 to go) and coach (Charles) Walker had the words that mattered the most. He just said, 'Ball pressure. Put pressure on the ball.' And that's what we did.

In the last year I've been very impressed by how much he's matured. He truly understands how to act now, on and off the floor. He knows how important grades are.

He's no longer a junior. After tonight he's a senior.

The football players brought a toughness to our team, especially to our drills in practice. We used to think that our drills were pretty tough but with these guys, we found that we could make them even tougher.

I have no doubt that he has the ability and the drive to do whatever he wants to do in this game. I would never put any limits on what he can accomplish.

I think we were too emotional to start the game. We got that big lead more on emotion than substance. And once the emotion wore off, we struggled.

Royce (Rowe) did an unbelievable job guarding him on that play. He went for the first fake, had to gather himself and go laterally to his left to get back in his face and he did it. That was a great athletic play.

We shouldn't have won that game. Carson outplayed us. We got lucky and hit some free throws. Our players weren't playing hard. This is not a team. We're in trouble. Take nothing away from Carson. They played hard. We didn't respond.
