This could have been a game where he could have taken it easily 15 to 20 shots. He turned down so many shots it was incredible.

I've never taken that many shots in a game. I know what it feels like to miss all those shots, though.

I didn't feel this way after Tennessee. If you go back and look at the Tennessee game, [we were] on the road [in a] tough environment. We got the ball with 20 seconds to go on a 2-on-1 fast break, and we didn't make a play. We gave ourselves a chance to win. I felt like tonight we didn't give ourselves a chance to win.

Going into this game, we don't have any excuses. We have enough to get out on the floor and dress. We're not going to be playing five against four.

I don't know about him for next game. It's inside his lip. He's probably going to have to get it stitched up.

Our faculty rep said before the game that the greatest thing is to build something from scratch. This is a huge milestone.
