Normally the guys who are successful [as freshmen] are playing on average teams. The proof's in the pudding the last six, seven years. The problem in athletics is we tend to take that one exception [Anthony] and make it the norm. I think everybody's got to be careful.

The pressure [on today's top freshmen] is incredible; it's just ridiculous. They're supposed to start, star and lead you to a championship as a freshman. If they don't leave by their second year, it's considered a test of their manhood.

Not many teams have the dual threat that Indiana has. Ironically, I think at times we could be one of the teams that does.

I loved the fact that they showed the grit. We went to different guys at different times. Whether it be Paul and Mo with the free throws or Shannon with the big shot and the step-back, I think each one of them did some different things. They can play better, but please don't underestimate what they've gone through in the last five days.

I'm really excited. A lot of our older players were here. I felt like the old guys were back and we played our old style.
