It's not like those other guys are plumbers -- not that I've got anything against plumbers. They were some of the most coveted high school players in the country. Those other guys are really good, too.

I think it is a big deal. It's not something we're pleased with. It's disconcerting, extremely so. There's no silver lining I can put on that one.

We knew he was a very good player, and obviously he showed that to us again. We didn't do a good job of finding Rice. When we did find him, we sort of looked at him while he handed us a 3. We went man-to-man in the second half because of his shooting ability.

All you have to do is look at the rebounding stats. That was the story of the game. You get one [shot] and they get two, it's really hard to win.

We've got four guys trying to move into whole new roles and that can be frustrating at times. We as coaches had the choice to play in this tournament, to play good teams and test our abilities early on. I think we're learning early what we need to work on later in the season.
