It's a goal that we never really took out of our minds. We definitely think we are an NCAA team, but our record now hasn't been showing it.

It's big-time. It'll do a lot for our confidence. Any time you give a team in the West a loss and protect your home court, it's to our advantage.

I like playing with him because he's such a calm player. You never see him get rattled. Your point guard's got to be in control, and I think he's one of the best in the country.

Every time we got them in the paint, we felt that was a strong point. We wanted to keep going at them.

We have a versatile game, also. We can slow it down and play a half-court game or we can run and have fun just like the rest of them.

We talked as a team the other night, mostly about having to step up. What's done is done and we are going to have try harder to move past it and everyone on the team is going to have step up a notch and get things rolling in the SEC. Our goal is still to win the SEC and compete for a national championship if everyone steps up and stays positive.

I just tried to play with as much energy as I could, and tried to fly around the court and get rebounds. They went with a smaller lineup, which I guess allowed me to get a few rebounds.

I'm going to have to step up my game. On the rebounding, it just seemed like the ball didn't bounce my way. But we'll improve.

Every time a team comes in our place, we expect to win. We don't really try to look at rankings. We come in here and we expect to win every game. We did that today.
