We are in a tough spot. We’ll have a character check and hopefully bounce back.

We had lost three games on the last possession in league play. I’m really happy for our players. They deserve this.

Eventually the foul problems and the discrepancy in free throws just got us. It was too much for us to overcome.

While we are extremely disappointed that this means the end of Davis’ playing career, we’re very grateful that the prognosis for the rest of his life is good. Mike Meyer is truly a hero. He...

I’ve been saying our team has been playing good basketball. We just don’t have a lot to show for it.

I’m not surprised at all. Some people want to pick us to be down, but it never seems like we are.

The first thing we wrote on the board was that we have to do a great job on 23 (Morrow). I guess we didn’t get that done.

It was a great game, obviously. I’m proud of our players. Guys with lesser character would have been too down to show up to play or would have panicked when things were going against us.

I told the guys after the game that I was happiest that they weren’t surprised. I could feel a very high level of confidence in that room. It’s OK if they’re surprised about the big...

There’s not a lot to complain about. He’s been a big reason why we’ve played better.

It is important to note this is not a suspension and not basketball related. This is a temporary leave of absence for medical reasons.

You don’t want to know how I feel about that. Out of respect to (Kentucky coach) Tubby ( Smith ), I’d rather not answer that question.

We wanted to push the tempo and run it more and I thought we did, especially after the first few minutes of the game. When the pace got up, it favored us.

We’re more athletic, but again, I’m not saying that we’re at the same athletic level of all of the teams in our conference. Our skill level also has improved. We’ve been able to compete a...

Something could have happened. I thought the player in question showed incredible restraint. I don’t know how I would have reacted under the same circumstances.

Last year we were a game or two away. This year we’re a game or two away.

Sparks can make you stretch your defense more than you want. I think it shows how much teams respect him that he still was not getting many open looks even when he was not shooting...

(Terrell) gave us a presence inside today that we haven’t had in the last few games.

Obviously we’ve got yet another game where we’re catching a team at a tough time coming off a tough loss and it seems like we’ve made a habit of that so far in the league...

Corey is a real high-energy player. That’s one reason we tried to recruit him. He made some key plays for them tonight, and that might have been the biggest.
