We're a totally different team than we were when we played them first. We're just a lot smarter.

We have a lot of work to do. To play the way we did (last night), it's kinda depressing to know how much we wasted. If we'd played like this all year, we would have had a higher seed, and maybe we'd have played North Carolina in the finals. I take this year as a loss, as a failure. We gypped ourselves.

We worked so hard, (spent) so much energy coming back. But we dug ourselves a hole and we let it slip away.

It's frustrating, but I can't be upset at my teammates' efforts. Everybody put 110 percent out there, and we gave it our best effort. Unfortunately, we didn't come out with the W, but there's nothing to hang our heads about.

President Clinton intentionally created a structure that was a little loose. And one that kept him a little in the center. He didn't want one person filtering all the information that went to him. He had always operated with a lot of information coming in and a lot of stuff going out.

This is a generation weaned on Watergate, and there is no presumption of innocence and no presumption of good intentions. Instead, there is a presumption that, without relentless scrutiny, the government will misbehave.
