He won’t play this week. They won’t give me a date (when he might return), but I know he won’t play this week. It will apparently be week-to-week.

We had a member of the selection committee speak to our spring committee. He told us the RPI is not even considered by them. He said they do not even have access to the RPI...

It’s no bigger than Saturday’s game (a win at Tulsa) was. But these are two teams who have played well and who have got a chance to keep themselves one game out of first place....

It may have seemed like it was easy. But it wasn’t. We had them down 13 points there inside of five minutes and the game was not over. Anything can happen at that point.

This is a unique group. A group of guys who come from totally different backgrounds who have come together to build a basketball team. It’s special. It speaks of their families and of the character...

It finally caught up with us. We didn’t have any emotion. We could never get going.

They are playing a little more man-to-man this year. But they play that zone. We will have to execute and hit shots. They want you to attack the basket, to think you are open. We...

We tried to score too quick in transition. You are not going to score quick like that against a team like Syracuse. I don’t know. We just got too excited, I guess. We tried to...

I’ve always thought this team had a chance to be pretty good. The thing that concerns me is offensively, I don’t know how much we can win without shooting the basketball better.

Rice has as good an offensive player as their is in the league. They start with him and that’s important. Transition defense will be very important. They are a very good transition team. And defensively,...

Our effort was tremendous. It’s frustrating to get an effort like that and come up short. We didn’t give ourselves a chance at the end of the game.

The whole game was summed up at the free-throw line. It came down to the last few seconds. If you’re going to go 50 percent at the free-throw line, you’re not going to have a...

Getting to Friday will not be easy.

That’s something they do very well. Besides playing really hard, the best thing they do is rebound.

That’s something I will have to decide after the 16th game. You can’t make that decision until the 16th game.

The winner of that game is definitely in the (NCAA) Tournament. (For) the loser, Sunday’s going to be a long day.

I don’t know yet what we will do. Tune in Wednesday night and see.
