I couldn't be more proud of our guys. A lot of teams drop down to .500 when they lose that many players. We didn't know what we were going to do early in the year, but these guys just battled, stayed tough and learned to win even when they don't play their best.

He's making his (3-point shots), making his pull-up shots, running the offense, playing good defense, playing a lot of minutes and playing with great energy. I couldn't be happier with the way he's playing. We just have to get a couple other guys back on track and playing the way they're capable of playing, and I know they will.

I don't want to get fined or anything, but it's a call you don't see much in college basketball.

I couldn't be prouder of the guys that participated the last two years. They set a great standard for our program. They're great role models and great kids.

I don't know if we can play any better than we played tonight. Our guys took hits from them and kept on fighting.

Christian is going to get better and better. He's not done improving, and that's what gives him a great chance to get to the NBA. He's getting stronger, he's maturing as a basketball player, and I just see him getting better over the next four or five years.

His defense and rebounding have been terrific. I've never seen him rebound the way he has during this stretch.

I think New Mexico State is a really good team. The way they're playing lately, this is going to be a heck of a game for us.

I'll have nothing but great memories. They're awesome, and they've had a great run. They've taken our program to a new level, and we'll never forget them.

In some cases they do a good job, and in some cases they don't do a very good job. The commissioner of the WAC just has too much say in what's going on.
