You may upset one team, but you don't sneak up on the next one. This team is not Cinderella. This team is the security guard at the back door. They'll beat you up.

I think we're a top 10-type team. If this team stays healthy, we'll be hard to beat.

That was an important game for a lot of reasons. I kept telling (Everett) that he was one good game away from breaking out.

The Kansas game was one that we felt like we should have won. Tonight was one that we probably shouldn't have. It's amazing how that stuff balances out, isn't it? But I have to tip my hat to our kids' will to win.

We're not a team that's concerned about trying to sneak into the fourth position for the playoffs. We want to be in there, be first, and have home-field advantage. Those are goals of ours. The concern is not really who's behind us, or who we are tied with, but who's ahead of us.

We don't see them as a Cinderella team. We just view them as one of the top 32 teams in the country.
