We enjoyed this and we wanted to cherish every moment of it. |
We got beat today because they were more efficient in every phase of their game today than we were. |
We had a couple of looks that went in and out. That was our chance. You only get so many opportunities and we didn't take advantage and they closed us out. |
We had a tough time stopping Aldridge down the stretch. Our guards are very good finishers. There were times when we got to the rim and he made us change our shots. |
We had about nine days to really get fresh. We had some great practices and it turned into good playing. |
We had no choice. We had a lead. We are in the NCAA tournament. We said, 'Let's get through this second half and let's see if these guys can hold onto the ball, and we make some plays and just try to rebound with them. |
We had no doubt that St. John's was going to come in here and play tough. They remind me of us a couple of years ago, young and just scrapping. |
We have a chance to be pretty good. |
We have more options. We can go a little bit more conventional at times when we have to. |
We have seen (Russia), they are very talented and a very tough, disciplined team. It should be a great battle. |
We have some great finishers. We got to the rim, but [Aldridge] caused us to alter our shots. |
We hear it all the time, so you think about it because everybody talks about it around here. We spend all our time with each other talking about, 'Forget about it.' It's such a mythical thing and everybody talks about it. |
We just didn't do a good enough job today covering the 3s, ... When they hit those 3s they are a very difficult team to beat. |

We just got a report from the doctor at the hospital, and it is great news. It actually looked a lot worse than it was. Al is going to be released, and he has vision. |
