This is new to me. You've got to be patient with me.

It's something really cool to see the confidence of this team develop.

You think about that game. Hopefully, we'll use that as learning experience and use it to our advantage this time.

It was so great to win that game, to see that we're back in a tie for the Big 12. There was some excitement on the bench after the game.

Russell will have better games; Mario is going to come along. I still see my role (is), whatever I can do to help, I'll do. I'm just trying to help other guys succeed.

We don't view it that way. Every team I've played on has been in the same situation every year.

You have to think about it. CBS plays that commercial like every day. I'm trying to get excited about this tournament. But every time I try to watch something about it, that commercial is on there.

Today was definitely up in the air. Modern medicine ... I can't believe I actually got a chance to play today. I felt a lot better yesterday. Today, it (pain) was in my past. I wasn't even thinking about it. I have an old body. I've gotten used to it.

I think so. Just getting to play down to the wire in an important game ... to see us win made it so fun. It was the most fun I've had, that's for sure.

I had one goal in mind. When I left the game, I wanted him to be just as tired as I was.
