We played immensely better. Oklahoma City is one of the top three or four teams in the league. We didn't play 100 percent better. We played 500 percent better.

It's a terrific year in the league. There are a lot of good teams, and you've got one of them right here.

The teams that Oklahoma has played and the minutes that Courtney Paris has put in, I don't know how anyone can consider her a freshman. I'm just hoping the WNBA calls her and tries to get her out of school early, because she's an incredible talent.

I can say without reservation that Oklahoma City is now at the top of the list.

This is the first of my 12 teams at Oklahoma that have practiced harder than they played. They practiced and competed hard this week. But come game time they didn't play as hard as they should have.

Baron is one of the better guards in the league. He is probably one of the top three point guards. He is a great passer and he can also defend. ... He had a great day.
