This was a big boost for our psyche. We found out we could play with one of the best teams around.

When you play with confidence, you turn the ball over fewer times, you don't make as many mistakes, you get the rebounds you need to - it's the little things. Those were the things we talked about that had to happen.

That's going to be a huge loss, obviously, but we have some good younger kids coming up. We have a good nucleus come back to form a good squad.

People need to remember what a successful season we had. The kids did great.

We didn't panic. Of all the things we did in this game, I'm most pleased with that. I felt it would be a tough game.

We shot better and didn't turn the ball over. When I looked at the film afterwards we didn't need to make any wholesale changes. We just needed to do the little things right, which we didn't do up there.
