We had more interaction in practices before coming here and J.J. wanted other guys to take shots.

I give Marquette credit, they made some big shots. But our guys fought. We're one or two plays from coming away with a win, but that's the way it's going to be. We have to continue to grow.

The young guys stepped up. Josh Smith made two big shots. He missed a couple and then he stepped up and made the big plays when we needed them. It was a team effort all the way across the board. It's fun playing games like this when you have a chance to win.

We really need to get our trainer to come out to our practices,

We need him to shoot, but we need him to shoot shots he practices within the flow of the offense. I think he understands that.

It's coming from a lot of different guys, too,
