They were all buried in different graves and now they're together with their buddies. They're my heroes.

The real heroes were my good buddies who died during the battles.

I am really proud of this team tonight. We had an outstanding effort for the full 40 minutes. In recent games, we've been having that sustaining power for only 34 or 35 minutes. So this is big for this team. We can build on this.

Michael struggled early, as our entire team did. But once he settled down, he seemed to get into the flow of things better. We just didn't play tough enough as a team.

It's hard to shoot 67 percent when you're in the gym by yourself. So that tells me we didn't play well on defense. We didn't show any defensive intensity.

Playing these games helps you some with recruiting and with seeing the level you need to play at to make the NCAA tournament. But you really need to play one or two - not six or seven games like we have this year.
