We'll be very good next year. This team knows what it takes to get to this point. We should be right back here, hopefully.

They knew how to handle every double-team, they passed out of it great and then they made open shots. They didn't turn the ball over. Everything our defense is designed to do, they were able to go against that.

We have different personnel than the '95 team. We have tough, tough guys who are willing to do whatever it takes to win.

(Guarding Morrison) isn't something you ask for. It's a job, whether it's Adam Morrison or whoever the top player is on the opposing team. It's something we do night in and night out. I'm going to approach it like I approach every other game. My job is to limit him as much as possible. I've had my share of experiences throughout the year. It's just another game for me.

I definitely feel a bond with Jordan. Him being from L.A., I got plenty of opportunities to see him play. I definitely knew I'd be coming into a school with another talented guard, and you have to enjoy that.

This is the second game in a row we came out turning the ball over. The pressure is probably what caused it. When you get in a game like this, you can't turn the ball over.
