Hilton really came into his own this year and I'm very happy for him. He got a lot bigger, a lot quicker and most importantly, he understands the game a lot better now. He understands the game and how to use his body. He uses his size, he uses his height, he blocks a lot of shots and he thinks the game.

It's pretty tight and there's not a lot of visibility. I suppose if you're claustrophobic, it would be difficult.

It really was a great experience. We really grew here. We were boys when we got here and we grew into young men.

It meant everything. We win together, we lose together and we go out together.

It was special. I can't explain it. It felt great.

It was all determination. As the old saying goes, ?Where there?s a will, there?s a way,? and as you saw, we had the will, literally.

We've just learned what to do since our freshman year and that's not to get excited and to execute when we need to. We just played Villanova basketball better than Louisville played Louisville basketball.

We're confident he'll be fine, but what we would miss is leadership, that's it. We'll make up for that in the event he can't go next week.
