All the marbles Sunday, baby. All the marbles.

I've got to take the blame. I thought we were past that. It's good to feel good about yourself, but when the ball goes up, you've got to compete. You don't get W's from reading the press clippings.

Anybody in our league would have died to have him out of high school. He does all the little things. I don't think anybody really tried to see what his offensive talents are. He can shoot from 15 feet, he rebounds and finishes around the basket. I'd be surprised if he wasn't a double-double player for us.

That (defensive stop) would have been huge.

We don't play basketball to give up 65 percent shooting in a half. That's why we put ourselves in the hole. We didn't following our scouting.

I've been with these guys for four years and I love them to death. But every day is a new surprise with these guys. I thought it was all behind us, but they still saved one for the end.

I did not expect this kind of play from us. This is an interesting bunch of guys, and they will continue to be. We've just got to keep plugging along.

Seton Hall outplayed us in every aspect of the game. They out-toughed us, out-hustled us and outplayed us.

If we play like this the rest of the way, we'll be in good shape. We had good intensity and were physical. It wasn't easy. The guys worked their butts off.
