That's a sign of a lot of leadership for us. They didn't really get nervous in that situation. I was nervous, but I don't think they were. They handled it quite well.

Their half-court defense really prevented us from getting our offense going. Our steals were effective but so was their rebounding. I was pleased with our defense though, as we contested shots and were all over the basketball with pressure.

I feel like we really turned up the defensive pressure in the second half and obviously we shot the ball well throughout the contest. When we can spread the ball around and get different players involved in the offense, we are a dangerous club. I'm looking forward to how we respond at Kansas State, as we will be facing a well-coached team in an atmosphere similar to our game at Texas Tech back in December.

It would take a lot to get us rattled.

Noel's a weapon for us on the outside. He's been tough as nails all year long.

David's going to battle for us to advance.
