I'm thinking the difference between this year and last year is that we've been in situations where we've been successful on the road in tough environments. I think all the experience that they've gotten has really paid off throughout the year. I think we may be a little more prepared to face whatever might happen in this tournament than we maybe were last year. It might be a little bit of a confidence thing. They probably do, right now, have a lot of confidence. If they don't by now, they never will.

In games like this it?s usually when you do something rather than how many. And I thought today we made great plays, got the lead up, lost our composure a little bit, struggled a little bit offensively for a stretch but these guys have come a long way, I?m really proud of them.

I've always had enough people around me that I've come to know a little bit about it. We're trying to do as many things as we can to help the process.

I think it would have been hard to keep up that pace that she had that month. There's a little bit of a dip in games, but I think she'll be back.

I thought in the second half our defense was a little bit better. We tightened up some things and changed a couple of things.

Inevitably, we're going to have a little bit of a lull in a pressure-type environment like this.

I don't know if our guys were taken aback by the first 20 minutes, but the second 20 minutes were like night and day. And that's a little bit worrisome for me. You want to play every game the same. That first half left a lot to be desired.

It's too hard to get to; it's too far away. My guys get plane-sick when they come over those mountains, so we would have to wait 'til we get a team with a little bit more ... what's the word ... intestinal fortitude.
