I think it's a good decision. I think he's got a chance to be one of the premier forwards in the nation next season. He became a leader on our basketball team this past season, and I think he'll continue to mature as a player. And I'm also excited because he's on track to graduate next spring.

It was sure a relief when our name came across there. I'm excited for our players and our program. It's quite a statement that this is five in a row for us.

This is a disappointing loss because we just needed one more defensive stop. Arkansas had its back against the wall and they came through.

Obviously, Ole Miss came to Tuscaloosa and won. Our players have a lot of respect for how good they can be.

This game came down to the backboards. We played our big lineup, and I'm disappointed we had that effort.

We're 7-6, lost our best player and we're a jump shot away from being in the Sweet 16. They overcame a lot.

They did what they needed to do. It came down to the backboard. We played our big lineup, so we're disappointed we didn't win. Kelvin's got a good team. They played hard and rebounded well.

We played our hearts out tonight. It hurts. Ron Steele was terrific tonight. Arkansas had its back against the wall and they came through.
