I had more open looks than I've had all season. Those other two guys stepped up and saved me, no question. After the game I thanked them big-time.
four guys meant minutes miss realize split three
You never realize how much that meant when we had three or four guys on the wing. We all kind of split minutes up and we were still happy. We really miss those guys a lot.
best davis guys inside lead neither open paul playing
We've got to get Paul Davis going. Once we get him going, that's going to open up a lot of things on the outside. That's the best way to play, inside out. Right now, neither of us is playing to our capabilities. We're the seniors. We've got to lead this team. The young guys look to us. If we're not playing well, we're not going to win.

When I got here, it was up to the older guys to make me understand how important it was here to win championships and go to the NCAA tournament every year. And that's my job now as a senior to make the guys coming up behind understand that going to the tournament every year just doesn't happen. You've got to earn it.

It's tough because it happened so fast. At one point we were up there, and now we're at the bottom. It's tough to swallow right now. ... Things aren't always gonna go your way. That's the only way I can really look at it. Some things we can control and some we can't.

I want it real bad. And I'm gonna do whatever it takes for us to get it this year. Nothing else is more important at this point of the year.
