You can't win a game with [12] penalties when you have an experienced team, but when you have a bunch of 18-year-olds it's insurmountable.

They executed well, they made a bunch of tough shots. When you play a team like that, you look at them, and you can learn a lot.

We're a better team when I'm on the floor and up until the Houston game, I was playing well. The seniors need me out there. Hassan needs me out there to help out and I do a better job as far as disrupting teams when I'm out there and we're a better team when I'm out there. I think everybody can see that.

We have a bunch of guys on this team who want to be here and everybody has confidence in each other. It's not like we're going out every game hoping that we can win. I think we're going into every game now with the confidence pretty much knowing that we can win.

Anytime you win when you're not playing your best, it's the mark of a good team.

We have to keep blocking and [reduce] the penalties, ... We have to play our best game.
