Whether we play Winthrop or Louisiana Tech or (future opponents) Temple or (North Carolina) State, the players realize we schedule very, very good basketball teams and we've got to play at a high level every night.

We're a team that needs to avoid foul trouble. It hurt our ability to score. That was a big factor.

We're a team that's got to get better. We're our own worst enemy -- whether it's free throw shooting, whether it's missing lay-ins or containing the ball defensively, we've just got to play a lot better.

We've got great fans, terrific fans and you don't want to let the actions of one person ruin a night or have something bad happen.

We're not good enough to look past anybody or have letdowns. Every team we play can absolutely put it on us when we're not playing well or at a high level.

When they went to the man, our guys really lit up.

We've shortened our practices. We don't really do anything to prevent injury, except doing minimal contact drills, but other than that we're just trying to be smart about how we go about practice.
