I'd rather have that win and get in the championship game.

He's a good shooter. If he gets open, he can hit and run off some points.

It was a lot of us not hitting shots, but Tulane worked hard to make sure we didn't have open looks. And maybe we didn't have the effort we needed to have.

It's fun to play against these top teams. We usually play pretty well.

It's fun to play in those games and we've done well. We can't forget how we played well in those games before. We've got to do the same thing and just come out and fight.

He was trying to send a message to us to get out there and play as hard as we could. We hadn't been doing that up until that point. He sent a message to us and that's just good coaching. He was coaching his heart out.
