I'm obviously disappointed with the university's decision, but I understand it was made in the best interest of the university. I continue to feel very good about the players coming back next year. I think Southeast will be at the top of the OVC over the next couple of years.

I'm not disappointed in our effort at all. We just got beat by a great basketball team.

They've hit the skids a little bit, but I'm sure they're glad to be back at home, where they're really tough to beat.

They're deeper than we thought, too. Arnold, boy, he's a load down there.

They are really a good team. I mean, they are very impressive. They're good in all phases of the game. I thought we gave a really good effort. They just wore us down.

People seem more concerned now than they were back then.

I understand it was made in the best interest of the university. I continue to feel very good about the players coming back next year.

Every year there are one or two games that stick in your craw. Every team in the country has that. That was one for us.

This was a bitter pill to swallow. This was one we felt we could get. We couldn't pull it off.

We've had trouble there, and a lot of that has to do with Austin Peay always having very good basketball teams.
