It's certainly a setback. But it's not as big as some make it out to be. The difference (Monday) was we played much better in the first half.
More Quotes from Jamie Dixon:
We'll be ready to go. Our guys will be anxious to go. We took care of business (Saturday). We played very well throughout.Jamie Dixon
I thought we'd see a lot more zone than we did. It got down to our penetration and Carl hitting those 3s. Our penetration was good, especially when they went man-to-man.

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.

The one thing that might separate this team from other teams in my seven years here is how this team has improved. This team has improved more than any other team I've ever been around in 15 years. The players have improved tremendously. And maybe that's because we have a lot of young guys.

We want our people to improve. We want them to get better. This is the most important award for us.

This was a great win for us. I think we were anxious at first and rushed a bit. But we calmed down and played a great last 30 minutes. They're a very good team, ranked 19th in the RPI, so they're battle tested and very well coached. Their size and versatility make them hard to play against. I thought we did a good job offensively, especially running the clock at the end and getting great shots towards the end of possessions. Our defense still has a long way to go though.
