We're always prepared not to have him and it's been that way for four years. We're happy for him personally. He isn't in pain and he played 26 minutes that way.

We hear it all the time, so you think about it because everybody talks about it around here. We spend all our time with each other talking about, 'Forget about it.' It's such a mythical thing and everybody talks about it.

We're going to need him. He gives us more size out on the perimeter.

When we double-teamed them, they made the extra pass and hit the 3.

When we did it in the NCAA Tournament, it was kind of dropped on us. We didn't have a lot of time to prepare. I feel good that we have a little more time to prepare and play that way.

He just did what was necessary to win the game. And having that weapon is valuable.
