Late in the fourth quarter, everyone hit a critical shot. Tony Parker hit one, Bowen hit a couple and Brent Barry had the one which pretty much was the nail in the coffin.

Brent hit the big one to sort of put the nail in the coffin.

Twice (late in the fourth quarter), we had one-and-ones, and we got the rebounds. That's big. We get that rebound, there goes another 10 seconds off the clock.

We made a good run there in the fourth quarter, but it just came too late. If we had made that run in the third period we might have been OK.

[On Chris Harrell's near fatal late-hit penalty on Wildcat quarterback Brett Basanez in the fourth quarter, which would have forced Northwestern to punt deep in its own territory with the Lions down two points:] That could have changed the whole course of the game, ... But we could have folded at that point, but you just have to know there's always going to be adversity. None of these games are going to be easy. Nothing will be given to us.

Tony Parker hits every freaking shot no matter who we put on him. The little ass.
