He is a guy that the other team must know where he is all the time. Sharper shoots the ball that well. He is a great spark for us. He works on his game all the time.

We forgot about that a long time ago. The past is gone. We're more excited about the present and we took care of business tonight.

Marcus was remarkable. Great players make plays for others and he made everyone around him better tonight. Colorado State is one of the best teams if not the best in our conference.

One thing about conference is, the games are going to be close. A lot of games will be won down the stretch. . . . Colorado State is one of the best teams in the league. We need to be ready right away. I still think we are capable of doing what everybody expected us to do when we have a full roster. I still think we can prove the (media poll) right. But nothing is going to be given to us.

I still think we're very capable of doing what everybody expected us to do when we have a full roster. We don't know if Marcus is going to play (tonight) or not, but we can't worry about that. We have to take care of ourselves first with whoever we put on the floor.

Whether we have Marcus or not shouldn't matter. If we take care of business with whoever we put on the floor, everything should come out positive.
