I think teams have done a good job of defending him a little better. And he's not Superman. He's human. He's going to struggle from time to time. That's just part of it. He'll be fine.

I think we are capable of defending that championship, but there are some very good teams to beat to do that. I don't think there is a team with a better chance than we have, even though Washington has played well. One of the biggest surprises is USC has really stepped up. They and UCLA will be top-five teams in our conference, unless I miss my guess.

He's not Superman, so we're going to treat him like any other guy. Hopefully we can do a good job of keeping him off the bases. When he gets on there, he makes it happen.

We've beaten the top three teams in the (SEC) East and the top three teams in the West, and I don't know too many other teams that have done that. The bottom line is we need to keep winning.

He has not done a good job. I think he should go.

They're just a terrific team, and John's done a terrific job with them. [Senior guard Darrel] Mitchell is playing at a high, high level, and their front line is just tremendous, too.
