BAYLOR POSTGAME QUOTES

Baylor Head Coach Scott Drew
Opening Statementà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"Well I thought offensively we were a lot more efficient than we had been the past two games. Ten turnovers, 28 assists, a lot of positive things there. Rebounding - we have been good the last two games and 21 to two second chance points was good. Defensively, not a good first half. I thought we got a lot better in the second half. We got a lot better and did a lot of good things. It was good to see TP (Taurean Prince) almost have a triple-double, but I thought he played a good game. I think some of the guys are starting to relax at the free-throw line, and we are getting used to playing games up there. I don't know if that means that we will always shoot 88 percent, but you are going to win a lot of games when you are 21 of 24 at the free-throw line."

On Taurean Prince's performanceà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"We had a good talk yesterday. Your senior year you've got a lot on your plate, and a lot on your mind, and a lot of pressure. I think he enjoyed himself tonight and that was good to see."

On the defense in the second halfà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I think our depth might have got them a little tired in the second half, and the second thing I think we did a much better job contesting shots in the second half."

On the depth of his teamà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I think the nine-man rotation we have been playing has been solid. They have all contributed and that's real important cause you know you have injuries, you have illnesses, you have foul trouble. For all of those things you have to develop that depth early in the year cause if someone hasn't played all year long and now you get in conference and they try to play that's tough."

Sophomore Johnathan Motley
On improvementà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I think I've improved a lot. I think I've become a lot more physical. I'm trying to mentally lock in, and make every easy lay up a dunk. I'm just trying to make sure I do the same thing every night, and keep the same routine.

On future gamesà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"There are going to be some nights where the game is open for me like tonight when they were guarding me one-on-one on the block, and it's easier to score. There are going to be some nights where I'm going to be double-teamed and have to kick it out, and I know these guys are going to be able to knock down those shots."

Senior Taurean Prince
On if he has been spending time in the gymà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"You know it man. It's been a few rough games, but you just got to stick to what you know best and not change anything and continue to believe in yourself."

On team improvementà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"We felt like last game we turned the ball over too much. We came into this game with the mindset of keeping the ball in the right people's hands and making simple plays, and giving the post guys the ball down low."
