SMU is one of the top four teams in the conference and I'm glad we've got them out of the way. Our defense was key. Our defense is something we work hard on and something the kids have bought into. We also held them (the Mustangs) to only seven offensive rebounds. Doing that to a team like that is big.

Ken Stringfellow

Our relationship, musically and friendship-wise, came to a halt for a couple of years, ...

Records and things like that are made to be broken. The odds can come out on a game and you might be the underdog. Is that saying that the underdog wins? No. I don't think we put a whole lot of stock in that.

Rick Stansbury

Reggie needs to not always look for the 3-pointer. He's got to play off that dribble, take it to the hole, which he's done more lately. A mid-range game opens up the 3-point shot. It makes him a more versatile player. And he needs to be a screener, because screeners get open. But it's getting better.
