I like homegrown local people that are interested in academics. I thought she would do pretty well in a classroom, so I gave her a call.

We were pretty much face-to-face. I thought, 'Here it comes. She's going to chew on me.' But she backed off. It's great to be alive.

It's pretty exciting. I never thought I'd have this many offers or anything. I'd have been happy to just get one.

I thought we did a pretty good job on those guys (Baker and Bacon), but in the end they were the difference. I think our defensive effort was pretty good. We held them to under 60 points, but we just didn't shoot the ball well, and in this tournament, you can't afford to do that.

We were the only show in town. People were concerned, but some thought it became an advantage for us.

I think he did pretty good, actually. He started off really good. I thought he did what he had to do. A little bit shaky toward recently, though.
