All I could think of was, I can't believe he's leaving this place. And I remember thinking that whoever takes this job and follows him has to be a little crazy. |
Defensively, we were about as good as we can be. When the separation occurred, we did things that were out of character for us. We had three open looks we didn't make. We had to have those to beat a team like Texas. |
Defensively, we were just about as good as we could be. Offensively, when the separation occurred, it was because we did some things out of character. |
Dick Cheney is a very good leader, and I have a whole lot of respect for him. |
Dick Vitale is a very good basketball announcer, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him and his achievements. |
Everybody stepped up. That's what it would take to win a game like this. |
For the most part, I was very proud of our effort. Before the game, we talked a little bit about having tremendous respect for this program, but we couldn't let that become a fear factor. I thought our guys did a pretty good job of understanding that concept. |

He expects ... to play Friday. |
He has a great feel for the game. He knows where the ball is coming off the rim, and he has great hands. |
He knows where to be. |
He practiced a little bit [on Monday]. He's not at 100 percent, but we'll take him at whatever percentage we can get. |

He was right were he needed to be all the time. |
He'll have played against some of the best players in the country, so hopefully it will help his game as he plays the guys in our league as well. |
