I've never had to hold on to one that big before. I really don't know how we're going to defend him in the paint.

At this point in the season, mistakes have to cut down. We can't be making freshman mistakes anymore.

They have a lot of size. We haven't been too good on the road, as you know by our record.

We came to practice with a whole different attitude. That's all it takes to get a team going. That helped get our confidence up again.

That scared me. But he does so much for us, playing almost 40 minutes, that you can't be mad.

It means a lot. We have been struggling lately. People tell us that wins will come, that we are a young team and to just keep on playing. As a team, we're tired of hearing that.
