We want to win basketball games, and not let our egos get in the way. Everybody on this team has, at one point, been a star or a starter or a bigger part of their team. ... We have to understand that we are talking about wins, not who is going to have the points.

I enjoy the last quarter of all basketball games.

There are a lot of ways to win basketball games, and obviously the easiest way is to score points. But when you don't do that, there are other things that you can do -- hustle plays like the tip-in or the rebounds on the free throws. Those plays can make a difference and they obviously did this afternoon.

We approach Wake as a very good basketball team. There have been more close games in the league this season than I've ever seen, and Wake is one of those teams where four or five games could have easily gone the other way.

They've been very fortunate to win a lot of basketball games here. I'm just extremely happy for them. They'll probably be asking me for a portion of my paycheck after their careers are over. I hope y'all acknowledge that I said 'after their careers are over,' so we don't have any problems.

You have to make shots to win basketball games and we didn't do that. You also have to get back on defense, so it was a double-whammy.
