He was a big part of our team and did a lot for us. It's a big credit to Coach Anderson and the job he's done.

What better way to prepare for the tournament than playing a team like Memphis. Playing a team of their caliber will do nothing but help us later on down the stretch.

We're able to overcome obstacles.

We're going to play our game. We won't back off.

He's considered one of the best defenders in the country. I think the guy who is most aggressive will help their team more.

We couldn't get them to go up and down as much as we wanted. The key was to get turnovers and we weren't able to do that.

He basically said that we laid the foundation for him to be able to make a better move in his life to be successful and provide for his family.
