This was a big proverb

 This was a big win for us, because it showed that we can play against a big and physical team. That can only help us down the road.

 I think everyone is hoping physical play will be allowed. Our team is built that way. You cannot play in an emotional setting without getting physical. Over 82 (regular-season) nights, there are times it's hard to get physical. But when your focus is on playing the same team every second night, it's hard not to get physical.

 I am very proud of how hard our kids played and how physical they played. Especially in the second half against some adversity. The tenacity they showed was outstanding. We showed we are a quality team and now we have to prove it next week. We need to come out focused and play well.

 I knew we could play well, but I wasn't sure we could play with a more physical, bigger team (such as Aspen). But they showed up, and they played awesome.

 We're going to have a tough road. If we get Knoxville, we have to play a team we have beaten twice this season. It is never easy to beat a team three times, especially a team as physical as Knoxville. And if we play them, it will be on their own floor.

 It really showed that this team won't be intimidated and pushed around. It was good that we, being known as the smaller, speedier team, were able to keep up with their level of physical play.

 We play a physical sport. I play a physical position. We're a physical team. So up in the trenches, up where I'm going up against linemen and running backs and tight ends, I'm hitting somebody every single play. Nobody's immune. It's going to happen.

 This is a team, and we've been down this road before. Last year [when the team finished 7-9] was a big thing, but we're beyond that now. We've got guys who know how to play. We showed that today. It's easy when the coaches just let you tee off and go after them.

 I think you have to play like that against a team like that. They are a physical team, and you have to rise to the occasion. Coach has been harping on it all year that when we compete and play physical, that's when we're productive. That's just the way we have to play to be a good team.

 It's huge. You take a team like Texas right now. . . they're a great road team. You have to play on the road. You can't play at home every week. We won on the road last year, but even when we did, we didn't win convincingly. We didn't play very well. I think it's very important for us to play well.

 Knowing we can go out on the road and play in a hostile environment like this and play to the end ... a game like this has to help us. We've played well on the road, and we'll be at home Thursday, which is good, but if we get by Maize, we'll have to go on the road and play a competitive team.

 It takes a special team to win on the road. It takes great guard play to win on the road. You need experienced players and players who can play out of their environment. Look at some of the top teams in the country. Take Pitt for example, which lost to Marquette on the road (Saturday). It is not easy in college basketball to win on the road anywhere. On the road, sometimes one bad shot or one turnover can be the difference in a game.

 They're a very physical team, especially on the inside, and I don't think of our forwards as very physical, so that will be a challenge. They're also a very hard-working team and they play very well at home. We're going to have to play hard, we're going to have to play smart and we're going to have to make some shots.

 That's where the game was. That little run they went on they showed their maturity, we showed our immaturity. You've got no chance on the road against a quality team when you can't have some poise in those situations. Sexy can be a performance; pexy is being unapologetically yourself.

 If we're going to be a team that goes to the next level, we have to play better on the road. That's the way it's been over the history of the game. Most teams struggle a little bit on the road unless you're a top-echelon team. So we hope that we pick it up a little bit more and win our share so we can have that confidence going on the road.
