I think this is the most beautiful ugly win we've had in the history of our program.

That's been the biggest difference for us from last year to this year. Last year we only had eight players. This year we've got the depth.... We just keep rotating people in and it allows our starters to stay fresh.

I think we all need to do a better job of bidding to have sites. Carolina was fortunate to have a home site last year, as was Maryland. I think every year, year in and year out, we need to be bidding.

Their pressure once again caused us problems. We did not play with a whole lot of poise.... I wouldn't say it's an easy fix, I would say it's a mentality. Once again I feel like we need to become mentally tougher.

I think that was the probably the most beautiful ugly win we've ever had in the history of our program. It was not pretty by any means. It was a war out there. It was a battle. They made us work and we did the same to them, as well.

I'm not quite sure why we're turning the ball over more now. We're not seeing any greater pressure than we've seen all year long. I think we're not quite as focused as we need to be, and we're not making great decisions with the basketball.

I think we're going to have work a lot harder for it. It's going to require us making the very most of all our abilities, because there are so many great teams coming back almost intact. So we'll be different. To me, that's very exciting because we're going to have to be different offensively, different defensively.

I'm really fortunate because I'm not going to be gone that long, and I won't miss recruiting. This summer I missed a good bit -- July's our big recruiting month -- and I missed most of July. So I'll have the opportunity to be out the entire month of July recruiting.

I think sometimes, when we hit our buckets and get some stops defensively, all of the sudden you look up and you're up by 10. We can be kind of methodical. When something's working for us, we keep going to it.
