I kind of blanked out. I couldn't believe it was over.

When you go to the line with a sense of urgency, there's more of an expectation to knock those free throws down.

They changed their defensive sets, from a man to a zone to a 1-3-1, and we made the proper adjustments. You've got to make those guys work hard on defense. A lot of times, we let other teams off the hook. We've got strong guards, and we need to use them.

It should be fun. I don't know what will happen but we'll be ready.

We're not crazy, we know that teams in this conference are going to fight back tooth-and-nail. They've got good players and they did that.

This is 2006. We're just trying to keep this thing rolling while we're here.
