We didn't want to go out with a major blowout. Me and James, this is our last few games, and if we can get a win against one of the top teams in the country, that's going to be an inspiration for the guys coming back next year.

I could tell a real difference, and it made me proud. His body has always had its own idea of how much weight it should hold, and he's put in a lot of time to get where he can body up against guys who weigh 260 or 270.

Guys came out and just laid it all on the floor. We played our best basketball against ranked teams. We can play with these guys at this level.

We're doing this every game. Every game, game after game. We're up against Villanova and they start hitting threes. They start making runs and we don't know how to bounce back.
