This is obviously a devastating injury for Curtis and our program. Fortunately, Curtis is incredibly strong, physically and emotionally. I know he will bounce back stronger and better than ever.

We've just got to execute better against better teams.

We did a very good job and I give (Smith) credit. He was hurting us in the first half. He's really good.

When our press was effective at times, it kept them from getting into their (half-court) sets. When they got into their sets, he hurt us.

When both guys went with Al ... Kyle Lowry actually did a great job of offing to Allan and got it to (Sheridan). It was a great play by all three.

We knew there were going to be times that we're going to play bigger, even three forwards depending on teams we play. It's not real complicated. We can put people in different spots.

We kept Mike and Allan on (McNamara). We wanted to keep a fresh body on him. These two are very good defensive players. They really get excited about guarding people.

You have to be prepared to have an off-shooting night and still win. We could have hit two or three more threes and everyone would have said we blew them out.

We had a couple of looks that went in and out. That was our chance. You only get so many opportunities and we didn't take advantage and they closed us out.

We had about nine days to really get fresh. We had some great practices and it turned into good playing.

We had a tough time stopping Aldridge down the stretch. Our guards are very good finishers. There were times when we got to the rim and he made us change our shots.
