good or bad. they're always going to keep supporting us, so i'm not too much worried about it."

"the expectation is to win a conference championship, be in houston, get to the final four, i get all that. i embrace all that. the thing is, we can't get caught up in all that. the best thing about my guys right now is they've been all committed, all saying the right things, all about the right things and as long as they're doing that, then we're heading in the right direction. we know we're talented, we know we have a good team and i'm in this for the long haul, and so we're trying to be as best we can in february, march and put ourselves in position to make a great postseason run."
