The incident that occurred happened rapidly and was totally unforeseen.

The kid is peaking at the right time. People look at the scoring a lot, but he is our best defender out there on the court. There's no telling what he can do from night to night.

You can win the title without winning the very first game and we got the job done.

He's the best freshman basketball player in the state. He's our quiet storm. He just goes out there every game and gets the job done with a lot of fanfare.

The kids just came out of the gate like racehorses.

Arkansas is a top-notch program with real good people heading it up. We've broken bread with those guys and I can't say enough good things about them. I think Arkansas has a great chance of getting this done. I've watched four or five of their games this year and I think it would be a great match.

They've worked hard. It's a nice thing, but we have a dogfight ahead.

It will give us more time to focus. We had a lot of time off during the Christmas holidays, but we were able to stay focused and come back and win the holiday tournament at Chicago State.

They're a good team. They came out and hit some shots early. I don't think our kids realized that the game is four quarters long. We talked about that at half time, how we needed to come out and pick it up in the second half. I said some things I can't repeat here, but we needed to pick it up.

This incident was extremely out of the ordinary. He was at the club and seemed comfortable; nobody thought there would be a problem.
