He didn't start out as well as he would have liked, but he didn't hurry his game. He stuck with it and down the stretch showed great toughness ... and showed why he's such a great basketball player.

That was the difference in the game. I don't think we did anything different to separate ourselves.

Everybody is more organized and feels comfortable. They have a better idea of when they are coming into the game and how long they will play.

I think they changed their game after that. You start to get sloppy and greedy. We stuck to our game and did the things we believe in. I don't think they're happy with all their penalties. That changed the game.

Both teams predicate what they do on defense. They (both) are pretty demanding in that sense.

If Karl calls us, I'll talk to him. But I'm not going to go recruiting. We're going to respect Karl's space and his time and let him make some decisions. If we're part of his decision, I'll be real happy with that.
