Rice is a good basketball team. Offensively they scare you because Almond had scored (30-plus points) in their last four games. That especially concerns you when our strength is not scoring points.

Just more little things. Making free throws. You've got to do the little things to win basketball games -- especially on the road.

We had four guys in double figures and we had 22 assists. That means we were sharing the basketball and we were making some shots.

We just need to continue to win basketball games. I think what's happening right now is probably going to be more important in terms of recruiting than what happened 40 years ago.

We shot the basketball and that's what we have to do. If we are going to win at this time of the year, we will have to shoot the basketball.

I've always thought this team had a chance to be pretty good. The thing that concerns me is offensively, I don't know how much we can win without shooting the basketball better.

Are they talented? You bet they are. ... They are an awfully good basketball team. Do they wear you down? Yeah, most definitely.

This is a unique group. A group of guys who come from totally different backgrounds who have come together to build a basketball team. It's special. It speaks of their families and of the character of each one of them.

Hopefully it does. I don't think it's going to hurt because if you are a basketball player or in the family of a basketball player, you will go and see these kind of movies.
