Coach McCaffery was great to us this year. It was a great year, and right now he's our coach.

The coaches told us as soon as we started preparing for Manhattan that they were a talented team, that, even though they didn't have C.J. Anderson, that they are still talented and they have other guys who can step up like (freshman Devon) Austin. I don't really know what it is. I wish I could put my finger on it that this is the reason we did what we did in the first half. There is no excuse for what we did, but we have to learn from it.

Those [figures] are just what we anticipated.

With a $40 million budget, I would say that $500,000 is an adequate reserve in that fund.

We need those guys. Tay shot lights out. Kenny does a little bit of everything. ... We need those guys to get healthy.

It was definitely physical out there. They're a big, strong team. We focused on our defensive intensity. We put a lot of pressure on the ball and fought them hard in the post.
