We just never could get over the hump. I was happy that the guys had the experience tonight playing in the regional championship.

That was what we were going to try to do, control the tempo a little bit, and we knew we were going to have to make shots and get the ball inside. The boys executed the best they could, we just couldn't maintain it.

You won't win any ball games having only three players score. We had good looks, we just couldn't finish.

Alan is a proven veteran with playoff experience who will be a valuable asset to us on the floor and in the locker room. He can give us toughness and depth in the post.

It's been a very worthwhile experience, ... There hasn't been a day when I've felt this was a mission we shouldn't be involved with.

My staff's job is to adjust to circumstances with technical precision and artful grace so that every patron has a wonderful experience.
