I feel for Fred. He's like the little kid that wants to go in the party and play but can't. I told Fred I wish we hadn't amnestied him. ... I'm sure he's going to have a long line of people after him.

The story tonight was turnovers and free throws. We shot 67 percent from the free-throw line and had too many careless turnovers in the first half.

I think you have to have a focus on the road, a mental toughness on the road, that I think we're trying to find. That's the story of our season.

I really think his groin is bothering him. I don't think he's 100 percent on his jump shot, just watching the way he's running.

I'm going to treat him just like everyone else.

I want to win, for these young guys. If they go out and beat Memphis, we'll deal with the consequences later.

I can see a difference in him. In training camp, it was like he was a little lost. Now, he's playing with confidence and like he belongs.

I see the difference in our team -- the speed, the quickness, the guys in attack mode. I liked our scrap, I liked our fight.

I designed the play for Bracey Wright and Justin. Marcus kept it because his man jumped to the side.
block clean counted fight glad guys met people pulled stretch tonight
I thought it was a clean block at the end. It was a big win, a lot of people counted us for dead. I was glad to see our guys fight back, they met the challenge. Tonight the guys pulled together, responded and executed down the stretch on the fly.

Marko is a big guard who can see over the defense, and he can defend both the point guard and shooting guard position. We feel we've really upgraded our defense and our team with the addition of Marko.
defensive figure great guys night offensive player sets spent trying
He's a one-man wrecking crew. We spent the whole night trying to figure out the offensive sets around where he was on the play. He's a great player. He's one of the guys you have to think about for Defensive Player of the Year.
competition continues good job lose point team wrong
Right now, Marcus is our point guard. Marko continues to work. I think that competition makes your team better. Right now, Marcus is doing a good job and has done nothing wrong to lose his position.
