It's not something I'm looking forward to, seeing the city. Some people say the sights are just awful, especially if you know the history of the city. Places that were there 50 and 60 years ago are just gone. A lot of tradition is gone.

If we had a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Bill Walton or Yao Ming, you'd have to make sure he gets the ball. You really have to know your team and your talent. It's kind of unconventional. But we felt the only way we can succeed is to shoot threes.

They were not going to break at the end like some teams in this league. I don't think this team ever felt like it could catch up because (South Alabama) held it together and didn't fold.

They've got a thoroughbred look now. There's a lot of bounce in their step.

He's pressured himself more by being a fifth-year senior with his desire to win. That was the irony and the great part was that it was him that hit the shots.

We shot terrible and they played really well. They're playing now like we were a couple of weeks ago - with a lot of confidence and very well defensively.
