I give our kids credit. We went into the overtime and took charge. We could have been down in the dumps.

They were hitting, but it was like they were playing horse out there.

When you come off a championship year, you have a pretty good recruiting year usually. They're a young team, but a smart team.

I'm real disappointed. I could tell we weren't ready to play. I saw it in practice the day before and I saw it before the game.

I envied the way he was. I'm not just saying this, Billy Carlisle was just a great person. He was so respected by other coaches and people in general.

I just thought Tafari had a great game.

I learned a long time ago, you gotta take wins and be happy. I knew they'd come back. In fairness to our guys, we got a lot of foul trouble in that first half. Trying to guard Michael White, we did a decent job of holding him to 16 points, but he puts a lot of fouls on people.

They played like they wanted that eighth seed. We had some kids not ready to play.

Even though we haven't seen a lot of it, I was a little disappointed at how we handled their press.
