We had great recognition at the end of the game. Donald got a rebound, looked for a good free throw shooter and found Abe. We came in expecting to beat Arkansas. I don't think this was too big an upset.

To be honest with you, amongst ourselves, we don't talk about the GPA. That's the coach's thing, and you don't pry into someone else's business. But I know some of the younger guys who've struggled a little bit, and Charles is the example we use for them.

We all buy into it. We all realize that gives us our best opportunity to win.

I think we saw more of Kansas last year because they were on TV more. The coaches have assured us they have tape on everybody and they've already gone through it.

It gets very tiring to answer questions about (Kansas). It'll be nice to play Arkansas and worry about them. Kansas is a long time ago.
