There's no question it changed the game. It changed what we wanted to do. But those things are going to happen. You have to deal with it. We've done it before.

There's never been a guy with a bigger heart, I'll tell you that.

I told him it's over. We're moving on. We missed it, and no one feels worse than he does. He's going to do what he's done for everything else this year. I'm very proud of him. He's handled things well.

I told him it's over and we're moving on. He missed it. No one feels worse than him. He's going to continue to work hard. He's going to work harder. He'll find a way. Shortly, we'll see him make a couple of free throws to win a game. He's handling it well.

It's a hand-off play. We dribble it over and hand it off. ... People say we're a football team playing basketball. We've heard it for the past couple of years now. They all say, 'Now we have to get ready to play the Steelers.' We think it's good to be compared to a team that's had so much success.

We stressed getting off to a good start and being ready to go, but my advice didn't go very far.

We've seen them and we're familiar with them. Having a short turnaround as far as playing them, at least it's good that we're familiar with them.

I don't think we've ever had a conference this deep. You look at our situation. We're a team that is 15th in RPI and the sixth seed. You're going to have some teams that in a normal situation would be getting a bye but in this conference they are going to be playing Wednesday night.

I wanted to. I actually thought about putting him in when it was a close game. I have no worries about putting him in.

It's more up to date but there's still problems with it. This past year, we lost kids who had already graduated. You're talking about losing points when you've reached your goal. We put our kids in a position to graduate early, and we're being penalized. That's flawed.
