We're just trying to win our next game and get tougher. They (Baylor) outhustled us. They outworked us. They deserved to win, three rebounds, four rebounds down the stretch in the last 4 minutes we win the game. They got every single one of them. It's who we are right now. Everything is based on how I'm scoring and what I'm doing and it's not based on that part of the game, that toughness. That was a great crowd for us. I don't know how these people made it here. They must have been on dog sleds or something.
