We typically have four to five people in double figures each night and that's made a tremendous difference. They're just playing better together.

Carol started it. He's taken it to another level.

She's not a real vocal presence out there. That's just not one of her strengths. She leads by her actions and commitment to winning. And she shows that on and off the court.

She's aggressive and she's a good athlete that plays with a lot of emotion and a lot of passion down on the blocks. She has really been a big difference-maker for Butler. They really haven't had an inside presence in a while. To come in here and score 28 on us is pretty incredible.

It's been my philosophy to play a very challenging non conference schedule. It's been a little bit of a journey and baptism by fire, but it's been a big help.

We say that if our team plays with intensity, we are a tough team. When we turned it on, we saw the results. We cut an 18-point deficit into an overtime game.

In every game we've won, there've been defensive runs where we've held opponents and been able to pull away.

They had a great look. When you can steal one like this in the quest for a championship, that's huge. If you're going to win (the league title), it has to come through here.

This is what we're all working to achieve. To get to the level they're at.
