It was Easter Sunday and I like to call it the second-greatest miracle. I never jumped so high in my life.

It was good for us to play a game like this. This is the sort of game that is going to help us prepare for Monday night.

The more we get up and down the floor, the better we like it.

They're about the only good team that's not (in our bracket). They definitely deserve to be a No. 1 seed, and maybe somewhere down the road we will get to play. But there's a lot of great teams. I just want us to keep playing the way we've been playing, and hopefully things work out where we'll be able to be in Boston.

This is what you dream about as a player and a coach. I've been coaching 31 years, and this is what gets your heart pumping and your blood boiling to be in an environment like this.

This is the second year we've had to do this, and this year we are the No. 1 seed yet we're having to play a team like Vanderbilt on the road in the second game.

There must have been, what, close to 100 people at her house. The whole house was full -- we had the windows up, people were sitting in the windows, they were sitting on the top of the furniture. It was just unbelievable.

They gave us a different look than what we usually see, but I thought they did an excellent job.

They made up for it from the foul line.

They made us play real ragged. They changed their defense a lot. They were aggressive going to the boards and got the ball inside. We sputtered probably more than we sputtered all year out there today. We got things going when we had to and we got big rebounds when we had to.
