This was one of the toughest games I've ever played in. I just knew I had to come in and do my part. It feels great to be moving on.

From the tip, we were just on fire. Last year, we couldn't buy a bucket (at the Coliseum); I remember that. This year, we couldn't miss a shot, everybody was rebounding - it was awesome.

I guess I was in a zone. They couldn't guard me so I just waited for Kevin (Daugherty) and Will (Figures) to drive to the basket, and I just picked my spots.

There are no perfect games in the NCAA Tournament. It's just survive and advance. The bottom line is we're not going home. I was sleepwalking this morning. But you know you have to get up and do it again today.

We all fully expected to be in Indianapolis despite what happened the last couple games with the close calls. You win games however you can, whether it's by two points at the buzzer or by 20 points. The bottom line is we were winning games up until (Sunday). We came up one game short.

I felt like I ran bad the first two games.
