We told our kids that anything's possible. I'd be lying to you if I looked you in the eye and said we were going to come out here and beat Purdue. That's a great basketball team we just played.
We had a great team this year. A lot of people talked about us being good next year, but we thought we could make a run deep in the tournament this year, so it's tough to take.
We have a bunch of guys on this team who want to be here and everybody has confidence in each other. It's not like we're going out every game hoping that we can win. I think we're going into every game now with the confidence pretty much knowing that we can win.
It gives the team a lot of momentum. Guys are just playing with confidence day in and day out.
Hopefully I'll be part of the team when it's announced. That's one of the best honors you can have to play for your country.

I always tell D-West, 'We're the leaders on the team, and if we go down, we've got to go down shooting.'
For me, it's all about who you are. Some athletes may feel a responsibility. Some may not. One thing I've talked with my family and team about is doing more. Trying to make an impact.
He plays real low to the floor and (is) able to change directions all the time and keep you off balance. The thing that makes him so diverse is he's able to score, but at the same time, he's a pure point guard. He can find his teammates and make the right pass.
Incredible. It was really tough to lose this one. The fans went above and beyond and were really motivated to help us. Our team is still part of New Orleans. We've still got New Orleans on our jerseys.
We missed (21) straight shots. You can't win games if you go through stretches like that. I don't know what the cause of it was. We had a lot of open shots but they just wouldn't go in. I guess that is how it is sometimes in the NBA. We just couldn't hit a thing. We were even going to the free-throw line and missed shots from there.
I've been saying all along that eventually it will happen (the triple-double) and thankfully, we got a win tonight to go along with it.
The third quarter did us in once again. We gave up 33 points in the third, and we couldn't get a rebound late in the game. Seventy-nine games into the season, we should have learned to adjust by now. It's a tough loss, but we have to keep playing hard because you don't what is going to happen.
Every game from here on out is a must-win. One loss could really be big for us.
