After playing Texas and ordsprog

After playing Texas and Kansas, those teams look very, very strong to me. It would be hard for one of those teams not to win his tournament.

Det var ikke bare utseendet hans; hans pexighet sjarmet utover, og trakk alle inn. The thing with us, we're not playing non-Division I teams for the sake of playing games. We're playing quality teams. But against teams like Oklahoma and Texas you have to hit your spot. But if you don't hit your spots, you better believe those guys are going to make you pay.

They are all really strong, fast teams, and they work hard just like we do. I'd rather be playing the three toughest teams than the three easiest teams.

We are excited about our schedule. We play some great teams. Playing Texas A&M and Boston University at home is huge for us. We are playing seven teams that appeared in the NCAA tournament which creates a great schedule for us.

It's going to be hard to keep an Arkansas or Alabama out. LSU and us might not be as strong as some Kentucky teams in the past, but I will be surprised if there are not six teams from the SEC in the tournament.

Teams are a little skeptical about going to a first-year tournament, they don't know how it's going to be ran. Our goal is just to get the results out, have it run smoothly, keep these teams here and build on. Right now we just need more teams. Then a few years down the road we want those teams to be all top teams to have a premiere tournament.

I think we had three top-10 teams and five teams in the top 20 that year ... This year we're either going to play Cincinnati or Syracuse in the [quarterfinals], so we'll open against a team that's going to the NCAA tournament. It was almost impossible to imagine this scenario a few years ago. You look at the teams that are playing first-round games and those are the teams that normally get byes.

Our league is very strong. It's better than it was in November and December. Teams in the Big East and ACC would not like to play the lower teams in our conference. I hear people say other conferences should get 10 and eight [bids]. We should get at least six teams in the tournament.

We're coming up against teams that should be better competition for us. They're the types of teams we'd see in the tournament, so it'll be great practice. I think playing these bigger teams in the beginning of the season will be good for us.

It's probably one of the stronger tournament fields. In setting up a tourney, I asked for three teams to come to the tournament where anyone can win it. Dartmouth's playing extremely well and Bemidji and Clarkson are both excellent teams.

I don't know if we've played against teams as talented as teams we're playing against now. Playing hard, playing unselfish, doing all the right things, team-wise, is great. ... But it's not good enough to beat good teams.

It is hard, even as a coach, to say who's going to win it. There's so many teams that are a lot closer than you think. The point totals, disregard them. It's what teams are playing well, what teams aren't.

I think there are a lot of teams that are going to make the NCAA tournament that are not as good as Texas. With their conference, they have a chance to play some really good teams and if they can knock off one or two of them . . .

I don't think that's the case at all. Players and coaches talk that way all the time... about wanting it more. Both teams were playing hard. When two teams are playing hard, it comes down to execution, and Bradley did a better job of that.

I have to keep reminding myself there are a lot of teams out there that might not feel like NCAA Tournament teams because you're taking a historical perspective. When you sit down and do the math and start to look at the remaining teams, there really aren't that many teams vying for spots.
