It's no secret, as he goes, we tend to go.

It was a great number, no question about it. The worst-case scenario (now) is that the Fed only goes once. Going into this number, people thought the Fed would have to go three times. Now they can move slowly.

We talked about withstanding their initial run, the first five minutes (after halftime), when they put a lot of teams away in this building. In the second half, things got away from us a little bit.

There's a big part of me that didn't want to be the guy to beat Dick Bennett in his last game. There's part of me that wanted him to go out a winner that he is. He's a tremendous man. He's done so much for college basketball, and every program he's been in, he's improved the program. However, it was important for us to get the win and move forward.

I think we're obviously going to need Ivan over the next few days. But I just go with who's locked in and focused.
