You have to look at the next game. You can't start looking back at what-ifs. We understand who we are as a basketball team, and we're not a great basketball team. We're very short-handed, so we've got to be overachievers. I've been happy with way the team has competed.

We knew we'd be tested on the road. We knew we'd better win our home games, and that's what we've done.Travis Ford
I've always been a big believer in transfers -- I understand the mentality, ... I've always believed transfers have an axe to grind. They come in with an incredible hunger, and I love the year they sit out, improve their academics and their game, and learn the system. And for us, these are really, really, really good basketball players.

They were killing us on the glass. They got to lose balls quicker than we did. We were standing around and watching. We have so far to go as a basketball team I'm done with this game. I'm more concerned with where our team is headed.

Twenty-nine turnovers didn't help us at all. Shooting 1-for-9 in 3-pointers in the first half didn't help us. But, man, they're a scrappy basketball team. They play in those spurts and that's what makes them good. They can afford not to play well in 2- or 3-minute spans. We can't. We're not good enough of a basketball team to do that.

He's a physical beast who gets where he wants to get and does what he wants to do. We couldn't do anything with him. We're moving on. I'm not spending too much time on that game.
