We played bad, but that was a large part due to them. I haven't seen them all, but they would definitely be a team that could challenge for it all when they shoot so well.

We're still playing better physically than we are mentally.

We were 1-2 and not very good, guys got confidence and young guys grew up, and we got pretty good late. So to me I have more pride in the team that is not expected to (win), than a team that is expected to.

I kind of thought we would be a four seed before the game even started. We are not complaining at all about the seed. That is one of the negatives about playing a game that butts right up to the selection show.

We were a team kind of just flapping in the wind and floundering around, not because they weren't trying but because we hadn't found ourselves yet. I knew we'd get better. But I didn't anticipate us coming together and having a surge like we've had here since we started conference play.

We were 1-2 and not very good, and guys got confidence and guys grew up and got pretty good late. To me, I have more pride with a team not expecting to do it, and do it, than a team that is expected to do it and does it.

We don't talk about the streak. It's such an unbelievable thing, so we haven't put much emphasis, if any at all, on the streak.
