to question about them being in the NCAA Tournament:
"I find it very difficult to believe that we're going to make it. Obviously, we had a tremendous nonconference, playing through some injuries. Shelton didn't play with us in the two losses. Eli Thomas didn't play with us in the two losses. But unfortunately, in league play, we just didn't quite get it done.
"We won six games. We probably needed to win eight or ten. That's going to be a bugaboo. That's obviously why today's game was so important for our team. If we could have got today's game, then I think we have a better chance, and then maybe one more.
"We're not worried about that. We'll see what happens, and if it's -- you know, we play in the NIT, we'll do our best in that. Obviously, I'm disappointed because I think our team is very close to being an NCAA Tournament team. I think we showed it again today that we can play with just about anybody in the country. You know, we had another great battle with Duke today."
