Aldridge came out of nowhere.

When he dove for the ball he ended up getting stomach cramps. Something cramped up in his stomach and he couldn't do much after that.

Our usual trademark is to make foul shots down the stretch, and tonight we didn't. We had two of our best free throw shooters at the line.

It's ironic, sometimes, that a guy steals a pack of gum, and it's going to make the front page. But student-athlete of the year doesn't make a lot of news.

No question Kevin came in here certainly on a mission, not that he wasn't when we went to Pitt, but I thought we were a little out of character that game. We tried probably to do too much and we didn't realize how good their defense is and we took shots that we thought were good shots, but in retrospect, they weren't because Pitt guards you. This time, Kevin was a little more patient and the result -- he scores 26 more points than he did the first time.

The stats tell the story of the game. Pitt played a tremendous game. We'll learn a lot from this game. It was very hard to get open looks in this game.
