That was the game. Seven or eight straight times the fouls were called on their end and one time on ours and we're going to the basket. It was very frustrating because I felt like the kids didn't get to make the decision of who won the game. Eleven free throws we predicate ourselves about getting to the line and we get to the line 11 times.

I think the guys respected him too much and gave him his shot and we didn't take it at him enough - we'll change that, he's going to have a harder time getting 35.Derek Thomas
That was the game, right there. I felt like the kids didn't get to make the decision to win this game on their own.

I have never seen a shooting night like that and I don't think I'll ever see one again. It was just one of those strange things. I think part of it was that we had to play defense for so long. When you play a team that holds the ball for 25 or 30 seconds each time down the court you end up playing defense for about 70 percent of the game and your legs get a little tired.

We're just trying to win games - it's not about who you're playing or where you're going. We got the effort and the defense is back to where it should be and if we can take care of the ball a little better I think we'll be okay.

Not a whole lot (happened) in the first half, I thought we stunk, but I know in the last 12 or 15 minutes we went on a 26-2 run and played some good defense. It was a win, and both of us are at a situation where we need this game. I think that makes it more valuable for both teams.

It's human nature to start taking things for granted again when danger isn't banging loudly on the door.

There is a hangover from a defeat like Denmark - ask any player about when they've had a bad game, it's still in there somewhere in the back of your mind.

I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.
