We're in the middle of the review process with the ULA deal. All of our attention is focused on that at this time. It would be inappropriate for us to comment on Boeing's labor relations.

We don't anticipate any workforce impact.

It sent chills down my spine. It was recognition of a student-athlete who did it right, but it was something more. I just don't know of any other conference where something like that would happen. For me, that's the moment I 'got' it.

We couldn't press like we wanted to, but our pressure defense in the half-court set was great. We took their big guy out of the game, and that really made the difference.

Ogre had a great game, and my bunch is growing up. I thought they grew up as a team tonight when Pate went out of the game. Burton made a run and took the lead, and we responded back. I was proud of them.

I'm proud of the whole team's effort. With Ogre out, we had to have everybody step up. We wanted him to rest tonight. We don't know how long it will be before we have him back. We didn't want to risk making it worse.

We just got hot. We were really in trouble in the second quarter. They had us on the ropes. Our subs came in and did a good job to hold it close until halftime.

That loss at Marquette was just a bad loss for us. We came back on the road at Syracuse. This was a statement game for us. We just went out there and played basketball and made a statement. The statement was that we're here and we're here to stay. We're not pushovers. We're not little boys. We're men out there.

We played great the last 15 minutes [against Syracuse]. If we put that to 40 minutes, I'm sure another team will get worn down and eventually fold. I'm pretty sure the four guys who have been through [the road to the Final Four] know how hard it is. They need to push me, Rudy, Marcus Williams, because they've been there. It's going to be a tough road, but I think we can do it.

There's only one team a year that goes out the way they want to go out. We didn't go out the way we wanted to go out this year, but the seniors were great. They were great leaders. I'm going to miss all that. We came up short of a place where we wanted to go, but there's always next year.
