I thought Kareem was terrific. He's been working out at 6:30 in the morning. He's been working hard at practice. He has been humble about this whole situation.

It was a great defensive effort. This game, the rest of the games, we've just got to make the game hard for the other team. We did that today.

When we coach against another team, we're trying to make it as hard as we can on them to beat us. On this committee, we're trying to (make it) as hard as we can for them not to give us (the No. 1 seed). They may not, but we made it very difficult for them by winning the game.
defense game hard plays run switch
Our half-court defense is still our staple. That's what we are. We want to make the game hard for the other team. It's hard to run plays when you can switch and do the things we do.

It would be nice if it worked out. But we're not thinking that way.

basketball bothered guard heck tape zone
The zone bothered us more than it should have. Our guard play was very tentative. I don't know why. ... We will have to go look at the tape and take a look at it. But, it was a heck of a basketball game.

There won't be any crime. There won't be any accidents, because nobody will be on the streets.

Enjoy it. Take a breath, kick back and enjoy. Because this doesn't happen every year at Memphis. It happens at Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina and those other programs. It doesn't happen at Memphis.

During the season, every decision I make will be about the team. The second that season is over, it is all about the kids on the team.
