We won, but it wasn't pretty. We missed some easy shots and made some bad turnovers early on. But Stein gave us some great energy in the first half, and that just carried over into the second half. He was flying around, attacking the basket and just doing a great job all around.

They hurt us with the press and we turned it over too much. Some of it was their press and some of it was us. We just didn't execute (on the press break). And we missed too many free throws. If we cut our turnovers in half and hit our free throws, we're there. But that's a hell of a team.

He's an offensive player. He was on with his shooting and he was playing good defense. He's got a shooter's mentality. And the three at the end: God bless him.

We played well tonight. You have to give up something. We gave up the outside shots and they hit them.

We struggled a little bit to get going, and they (L-S) were on fire tonight. Ben and Mike were all over the place, but we couldn't get enough stops defensively.

By the end of '06 we're going to have a pretty clear picture of whether or not it's succeeding or failing, ... And success will be dependent upon a government that's representative and a capacity to govern in terms of security.
