When that fatigue hits, you have a tendency to cling to your man instead of helping and playing team defense.

If we have Ahmet down the stretch, I think we're still playing somewhere (in the NCAA Tournament or NIT). And if we had Bobby and Little Matt, I don't think there's any question.

Second game of a road trip, and then playing in a little bit of altitude, you don't want to get in a running game late in the game like we did and I think that got to us.

In the future it's going to be very difficult. They're going to have to do a good job of recruiting guys who have the potential. The thing that kills people that's not fair, the No. 1 reason kids leave school is playing time. You can't control that. You get penalized for his decision and not yours.

It's a tough match-up for us. That's why this loss (to Louisiana Tech on Saturday) was so big. We win and we're playing (No. 6) Boise State instead.
