Good years lie ahead. The freshmen throughout the conference - they're good, but they had to go through a maturation process while playing. They will continue the process during the off-season.

They probably have the second-best (inside players) in the conference. Obviously Texas has the best, but Nebraska's three guys average 20 rebounds a game. They're killing people in terms of rebounding.

I'm not a soothsayer, but I expect to be good.

That's fine. Greg McDermott is a good coach. And Greg McDermott had nothing to do with the situation.

We decided we could go ahead and be proactive.

We competed well. Baylor obviously is good, but I'm pleased with the way we fought. And to have two freshmen go out and get wins, it shows how they're improving.
