Sanders didn't play the first nine games, but he's back and playing at a different level.
That's one of the best conferences in the (nation), and I'd like to play them just for a comparison.
We know people can beat us in our conference. That's why we have to see if we can play our best basketball over the next four games.
It's not like they've been losing a lot, and we got after them. I love that. I was looking to see if we were going to be tentative or aggressive, and I was happy to see us being aggressive. I hope we see the same thing (today).
I couldn't be more proud of our guys. A lot of teams drop down to .500 when they lose that many players. We didn't know what we were going to do early in the year, but these guys just battled, stayed tough and learned to win even when they don't play their best.
Johnny had a sensational game. It just didn't click for us offensively until Johnny took over.
We want to win this thing by ourselves. We've worked hard all year to get into this position.
I thought Christian was really a great player tonight. He was real aggressive, real active and real focused on what he had to do.
When we're going to the bench, we just haven't been getting a lot of scoring lately. We have to figure out a way to do that.
I'll have nothing but great memories. They're awesome, and they've had a great run. They've taken our program to a new level, and we'll never forget them.
