We have to do a good job playing defense on their guards and not allow them to penetrate.

That block gave us a lot of confidence. We got rolling from there, making our free throws and taking our time. That was a momentum changer. (Cedric)'s a good basketball player. I see a lot of potential in him. He has a bright future ahead of him.

We've got to regroup and rebuild. We kind of have to analyze things. We're still 14-2 in the conference, so we still did a pretty good job. Our two losses just came at the end.

happening maybe player shot thinking
Maybe he's thinking too much about his shot and his moves, but I don't see that happening in the Tournament. I think he'll be re-motivated and be the player he has been for us.
