This is the first time in 28 years I've been in this situation. It's something I take personal responsibility for. He'll be missed because he's a four-year senior who has played on some really good teams.

This is special. This university has had so many good teams, but it never quite worked out. Tonight it did.

It's kind of a thank-you type of thing for our fans. It's all about practice tomorrow. Tonight, it's just a good time for everybody.

It's a tough thing because I thought our guys did a good job this year to win 19 games. A lot of times 19 wins are rewarded by going to the NCAA.

Historically, if you get to .500 in league play, you're in a pretty good position. Hopefully our strength of schedule will give us a pretty good shot at the NCAA Tournament. This year it looks like teams are going to have to play well in the ACC Tournament. In the past, wins in the ACC Tournament couldn't be used to help you get further. Now, you have to play well there to help your chances.

Everybody's been saying they want to see how good Mike Jones is. Well, he's a pretty good player.

Hopefully we learned a good lesson tonight. They made us pay until we got it turned around. I'll just remember we didn't play well in the second half.

Interesting. What makes them better than us? I don't know. For whatever reason, our 19-12 wasn't as good as Arizona's record or Wisconsin's record.

I thought we had recruited a very good class.
