I thought our defensive effort tonight was outstanding. Next week's going to be tough, but if we defend like that and make people uncomfortable, we can make a Cinderella run here, without a doubt.

I thought Williams might have a heyday if we played some man (defense), just because of his athleticism and I've got a lot of respect for the kid.

We knew what was on the line when we came in here. They wanted redemption from that Christmas tournament and I thought if we kept it close and gave ourselves a chance to win at the end of the game, we were going to be just fine.

Obviously, we're probably the fourth seed in this thing.

In the first half, I bet we had five or six shots go in, and then come out. The separation could have come then, but it came later. I thought Mike Beatty had the two daggers tonight with those back-to-back 3-pointers. Those were the shots that broke their back.

I thought our guys came out and gave a good effort defensively tonight. These guys were playing great coming in and to hold them to 36 percent (shooting) is a good thing.
