We're playing better. When you're in a tournament like this, the more you win, the more guys realize they're playing for something.

I don't know. That's the official's read. We showed some toughness, I thought. I'm so proud of the way our guys executed.

Having vocal leadership is important to this team. He's taken that role on, and the guys respect what he says. To me when you don't have him on the court, that's what you're lacking.

We had guys that haven't made plays all year make plays for us.

There was too much pressure on those two guys. We need to get other guys involved.

It's just something we do. I think our big guys understand their role and what we want them to do. They know that (offensive rebounds) are a big part of our offense.
