I think, hopefully, I'll get to play a lot, ... I think I have a pretty good chance to contribute right away. I'll contribute in any way I can. I mean, I won't play 35 minutes every night, but I'll contribute the best I can when I'm in there.

We played with the best team in the country for 35 minutes, so I guess that does give us some confidence. We just kind of broke down at the end.

They're the best team in the country and they showed why. They're so talented and so deep. It seemed like every time we made a little run they'd send in five guys who were fresh and just as good. They kind of wore us down.

I'm excited. They're one of the best teams in the country, if not the best team. We were all pretty upset that we lost (at St. John's on Tuesday) and the fact that we didn't play very well. After a few days you can't just hang your head and keep reflecting on the past. We've got 12 conference games left, and we've got to concentrate on getting better and better.
