I can't consider them a mid-major team. I don't look at them that way. They're a really good team.

(The guards) make the other team take tough shots, make it hard on the 3-point line. They have just done a great job guarding (against 3-pointers).

Guys are sagging so much in the lane, especially this team. They want you to shoot three's. You can't leave a guy like Lee Humphrey wide open like that and try to sag off, and we made them pay tonight.

It doesn't matter who scores on this team. Last year we had three guys [Matt Walsh, Anthony Roberson and David Lee] we relied on to score. But we don't have a go-to guy on this team. Anybody can have a big night.

I have never heard the crowd that silent here at Rupp Arena before. So it was a good feeling, but I was a little shocked at the same time.

We've been a very competitive mid-major program. We're starting to come together. It's a good group. It's just that it's a young group so there have been some ups and downs.
