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.

We're 1-of-10 from the 3-point line and we're right there and have a chance to win at the end of the game. We're down three and Ron had a pretty good shot at the end.

I don't think our players will be satisfied, nor will I, with just getting in. We want to advance, we want to advance deep.

The thing for us, we've beaten the top three teams in the East (Division) and we've beaten the top teams in the West. Nobody else in our league, I think, has done that.

I've been asked that question a lot. But I think things work out the way they're supposed to work out.

Chuck will still lead this team even though he'll be on the sidelines. Winning always gives you a lot of confidence. We are going to start today and we are not going to roll over. We are not going to make excuses, pout and whine. We are going to buckle down, be positive with one another and play.

Chuck is a great player for us. But we have some other players that are great for us too.

By the way, Jerry I'm, looking for some faxes. Every day, I'm hunting on the floor, everywhere I can look.

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've beaten the top three teams in the (SEC) East and the top three teams in the West, and I don't know too many other teams that have done that. The bottom line is we need to keep winning.
