I played C.J. Watson too many minutes, and also Chris Lofton and Andre Patterson. I did not keep them fresh enough to make plays down the stretch. We did not turn Arkansas over a lot. It takes energy to create offense or defense, and we needed more energy.

We've played in spurts, not always a full 40 minutes.

I sweat sweet. It's not a stinky sweat.

I told Dee afterwards, we have played him a lot of minutes. It's tough on him. Now Chester ... is getting back to where he's comfortable. We trust him a little more. I want to ease Dee's minutes and the pressure on him. Chester brings energy. Chester brought some good body language to the game.

Chris really missed him -- a lot. I played a lot more with him, but it wasn't the same. And I wouldn't play no video games.

It's hard not to be impressed. He handles himself like a veteran. He played a lot of minutes (19:45 average) -- probably even more than he should have in his first year, but I don't think it hurt him. And he looks like he's five or 10 pounds heavier from working out, but his skating certainly hasn't suffered because of it. He did pretty well all of last year culminating at the World Championships where he was pretty dominant.
