It stretched us pretty thin.

Overall, I thought this was probably our best stretch of man-to-man defense that we've played all season. Now, we just have to keep working at that. We've been playing better. The last four games, I think we probably are playing our best basketball. It's coming together.

It seemed like he could turn it on anytime he wanted to.

To win the championship, that could be the team we have to beat [in the league's tournament].

He's so quick and so good with the ball. It seemed like he could turn it on pretty much whenever he wanted to.

The guys have really responded. Defensively, they've taken it more personal, played a lot harder and a lot more together.

He didn't take us by surprise, but I didn't expect him to shoot the ball as well as he did. We were focusing on [other guys] as their scorers. [Coleman] had a few nice backdoor cuts and a couple [two] three-pointers that made a difference. He did a good job of running that team and he played very well.

That's what we were talking about as coaches after the game, the fact that we didn't fold when Kenny went down. It's great to have guards.

It was just after a tough loss [54-40], and it was a moment of frustration on the way to the locker room. He scraped his knuckles. There was no serious damage, no swelling.
