We wanted so much to get to the finals, to play for an NCAA berth. We’re extremely disappointed we fell short.

We’re ready to play when we come up from the locker room. We jump on teams and sustain it.

We knew Justin was out; we knew what we had to do.

Tristan was great, but if [Thompson] got by, the rest of the team was there to help.

He had five blocks, but he affected a lot more.

We did a good job on the threes. We gave them different looks: double down, fake double down and weak-side help.

It was a good effort by everyone. We wanted to get on top early and then make sure they had no chance to come back.

It seems like we just got here, and now it’s one loss and it’s all over. We want to play deeper into March. We don’t want this season to end.

Very, very disrespectful. What’s the point? Is it going to make you feel better in the morning to know you got another three? Something like that always comes back to bite the person.

We set the tone early so there was no chance of them coming back.

Justin and I were in the locker room today reminiscing about being freshmen. We didn’t want our careers to end. We just had to step it up.

It was a good effort by everybody, the bench players stepped up.

Me and Justin were in the locker room talking and we were just reminiscing about it seems like just yesterday that we got here, and how we don?t want it to be over.
