I think we were too emotional to start the game. We got that big lead more on emotion than substance. And once the emotion wore off, we struggled.

I didn't sleep for two days thinking about this game. Reed has too many good shooters.

He's no longer a junior. After tonight he's a senior.

We called a timeout (trailing 71-65 with 1:45 to go) and coach (Charles) Walker had the words that mattered the most. He just said, 'Ball pressure. Put pressure on the ball.' And that's what we did.

In the last year I've been very impressed by how much he's matured. He truly understands how to act now, on and off the floor. He knows how important grades are.

I have no doubt that he has the ability and the drive to do whatever he wants to do in this game. I would never put any limits on what he can accomplish.
