He normally doesn't recognize the fact how good, how long he is. He has the occasional scoops like (Kevin) McHale did. He's kind of added that recently, but you don't see it all the time.

Magnificent is a good word. He put on one of the better performances I've seen in quite a while.

Facing Syracuse up here is obviously a task. They looked very good against Cincinnati. They wore Cincinnati down.

I think a lot of credit has to go to Louisville when you have a leader out. I'm not sure how well our offense would have been if we didn't have Marcus Williams. Marcus is not the scorer, but he is the runner of the team. He gets the ball to the right people in the right time at the right spots. They didn't have that tonight. They worked like crazy.

We were a little sloppy, but they had a lot to do with that. Maybe two months ago we might not have been tough enough to hang on and increase that lead. We seem to be getting tougher.

I usually don't ask anybody anything. I told him that he had to go out and be much more assertive.
