Our options are limited, and we know that. We have very little room for error.

Our team just needs to be careful of that whole concept of whether we're a bona fide NCAA tournament team or not. We've got to play better.

Randolph Morris was a factor from the tip. You could tell from the first minute that he wanted to make a difference, and he did. He causes you problems while he's on the floor, and you have to pay attention to him.

Really in the last two, three or four years we've been as aggressive as anybody in the country with our non-conference schedule. I hope that doesn't hurt us. I hope that all of a sudden that's not used against you, because we could have played three easier teams in December and we'd be 20-9 and everyone will be celebrating.

Richard Hendrix was terrific today. He was a real presence. We did a good job of getting the ball inside and rebounding the ball. Richard especially.
|
Ron has probably rushed his shots a little bit. I want him just to settle down and play. I think we've depended on him too much, too.
|
Ron Steele is starting to step up in ways that he did in high school with his team. With maturity comes some aggressiveness, especially late in the game. He's a unique person and he will find a way for you to win. He's done that for us this year.

Ron Steele was real aggressive. He penetrated a lot in the first half. That was big for us.
|
Sometimes the game comes out to one shot, and I know he'll be thinking about that shot all night long. It's just part of the game.
|
That was a little bit confusing to me.
|
That was a lot to do with them, a lot more than what we were doing wrong.
|
That was the good (side). There was no question. The last two games he was something like 2-for-15 from the field. But for us to be good, we have to give him the shots when he's open. You just have to take the bad with the good. He had one of those performances that's phenomenal.
|
That was the good of Jean Felix. I think in his last two games he was 2-of-15 from the field. Today's some of the best we've seen from him. He did a great job shooting the ball.
|
That's the definition of a team win on both ends of the floor. We were as balanced offensively as we have been all year. Defensively, we were as fundamentally sound as we were all year.
|
The difference tonight was the defense in the first 15 minutes of the second half. I thought Auburn kept us off balance in the first half with the 1-3-1 zone. We weren't taking good shots. We didn't do a good job getting the ball around the basket. We didn't do a lot of things well.
