The game was dictated at the free-throw line. You can't miss 11 and win at this level.

He plays with great enthusiasm, and what a physical specimen! If I looked like that, I'd spend all day walking around in a Speedo.

If he is indeed finished, we need to embark upon a different playing style, obviously. Right now we're trying to hold the fort with what we have.

Hopefully not playing this weekend will give him a chance to get near 100 percent for Tuesday. If we played (Thursday), he certainly couldn't play.

I don't know if we can match up against Villanova's starting five. They present a completely different problem than any other team.

His ankle is really not swollen, but we have to get it evaluated, both he and Marlon.

The key to the game for us was our ability to pass the basketball. We moved it better than we have in a long time.

The biggest thing, when you play teams like this, you've got to stand in the middle of the ring. You cannot get on your heels. I told them before the game, 'We're going to get knocked down, you've got to get back up.' And I thought the kids did a good job of that.

It's not going to be good when you have games taken away from your progress.

That's probably how dentistry was in the 1800s, before they had anesthetics. That's how I felt.
