I knew he could play, but nobody would bite on him.

He adjusted a play tonight so that he could get a catch. It's a situation, because of our lineup, that we never, ever do. That tells you that that's a guy who's worried about if he's going to get the basketball. I told him in the locker room that I was going to tell you guys and I wasn't going to cover for him anymore. If he doesn't grow in that area, we're going to have a hard time being as good as we can be.

I think they just lost two really good senior guards that are the reason they were able to play so well on the road last year. This year their guys are just finding their way in those tough environments.

We were more ready to play the second game. There wasn't any excuse for losing the first game.

It's comfort zone to know that when you make a play, you'll have 50 to 60 thousand people screaming

He still wants to be involved in the (football) program, and he's coaching golf still for us. We're glad for that, because he's a great guy.
