We don't have an identity as far as how we play on the defensive end. We might play well one night and on another night we won't play well. We always score the ball and average 100 points, so obviously our problem is in other areas. Until we take care of those problems, we're going to continue to struggle.

We just didn't finish the game off. We've been having that problem all season. Our problem is just stopping people and rebounding the basketball. Until we get that under control, we're going to continue to struggle through 2006 as well.
Obviously, it's bad if I couldn't return. I'll just get the MRI and see what it really is... I had problems walking, so I knew I couldn't do any running. I couldn't go. It's real swollen and sore.

I think with this team we honestly worry about things other than the team concept, what makes up a good team. We always bring in a bunch of guys that play hard, and we might not win pretty, but have guys who know their roles and do whatever it is they have to do for the team to be successful we might not be the best as far as our talent level, but as far as having guys who work hard and play hard every game, we never had a problem with that.
I don't want to be any problem to him, ... I just want to be somebody that, when he has a problem, he can come talk to me about it.
I don't have a problem with it. I'll do it for the rest of the season.

I could have played 48 minutes. I have never had problems with my conditioning before. For a coach to say that he thinks my conditioning isn't there, that was something new for me. Because nobody never told me that, nobody questioned my conditioning or injuries or anything like that.
I dress to make myself comfortable. I really do have a problem with it. . . it's just not right.
We're going to need team efforts, we're going to need each other down the stretch. With 29 games to go, we've got to win more than half of those to give us a better seed in the playoffs. We don't want to settle for the eighth spot. We want to try and get as high as we can.
We're going to need team efforts and we need each other down the stretch.
We're just happy, ... We wanted to win this game so bad. I've got to take my hat off to my teammates. They played big. They really picked me up tonight.
