That's something that should never happen. We've built too much up over the years for something like that to happen.

It's just going to happen because of the parity. It's getting closer and closer. Every year I maintain, you're going to see more upsets.

From Caron Butler - and there's no validation this automatically has to happen - to Ben Gordon, it looks like Rudy is starting to make the move to where we think he can be. He is going to get there, there's no question. It's just that every kid gets there at different times.

Donyell Marshall was here tonight and he left with four minutes to go. That should never happen in a Connecticut game.

I think a lot of credit has to go to Louisville when you have a leader out. I'm not sure how well our offense would have been if we didn't have Marcus Williams. Marcus is not the scorer, but he is the runner of the team. He gets the ball to the right people in the right time at the right spots. They didn't have that tonight. They worked like crazy.

Facing Syracuse up here is obviously a task. They looked very good against Cincinnati. They wore Cincinnati down.
