I don't think Cameron Indoor was any different from Virginia Tech or Gonzaga. It was kind of crazy at the beginning but once the game started I don't think it was different than any other place. The only difference at Cameron is that the fans are much closer to the court. We played against a very good team, and that is the reason we lost.

He's only a freshman. He can't really handle the double team as well as older guys.

It was pretty hard (to win). We just played a little better than they did in a few key moments and got some offensive rebounds.

That's what we're waiting for (today). We're going to play even harder. We remember what happened a couple of weeks ago and we are a much better team than we played down there.

We gave the University a good win. And we appreciate all the fans, especially the student support.

We really tried to guard him. On some days you can't stop a player. I mean, Kobe Bryant got 81 the other day.

I was just trying to get a rebound and get my hands on the ball. Anytime you deflect a ball, good things can happen.

We needed a few stops; that's what we were thinking. I wasn't really actually worried that we were going to lose because I knew that my teammates were going to pull it out. I knew we could play better.
