It has been a problem for me the whole year. Right now is an important stretch for us. If I feel I'm hurting the team I have no problem sitting out.

This was very big. South Florida is a team that's struggling right now. It's a game we needed, coming off three losses in a row. Tonight got us back into the thick of things. The Big east is wide open. We can pick up things from here and go on in a positive way.

They had a situation on their team, but this was about us. The main thing was we wanted to get better. After the long layoff we wanted to get out and play -- and play well. We shared the ball well, guys spaced the floor well, and we played pretty well off each other.

He's doing all right. He didn't have his hopes up for a different [charge] at this point. He, like us, finds it very hard to believe that anyone could think that he had any kind of intent to harm.

It's embarrassing. We know we were brutal. We sucked. The fans told us and they were right about that. But this is our day job and we're going to get better. We know how good a team we have.

Yeah, it would have been nice. Any time you get to play with a player of Randy's caliber, it would be great because he brings so much to the table. He made his decision, and it worked out perfect for him.
