On if the game was as physical as it looked...
"Yes it was. It was really physical. They were punching us in the mouth and we were trying to punch them in the mouth. All in all, we won the game so that is all that matters."

On how his leg is doing...
"It's alright. It was just a cramp that was bothering me. I'll be fine."

On if he is playing at the level Coach Calipari wants him to...
"I think I am making strides. It's hard playing for a coach that demands so much, but I just try to continue to try my hardest."

On being carried off the court...
"That was a first. If I would've got up, it would've been ugly. I couldn't have gotten up because my leg was cramping to bad."

On Morehead's intensity...
"They came out with a lot more intensity then we anticipated they were going to come out with. That was the reason we played the way we did. Second half, we turned it up and we got the win."

On what made their performance change ...
"It was just (Cal) preaching intensity and being tough, that was really the whole reason for the speech we got at halftime. We came out and showed a little bit of both and we got the win."

On his will to win...
"Me and Alex both came out trying to win. We didn't want to lose especially this early in the season to Morehead. They played their heart out tonight and that's a good team, but that's just one of the teams you can't lose to, especially at a time like this. We came out in the second half, brought it together and we said we have to step it up and that's what we did."

On what they learned from the game ...
"We definitely have to come prepared for the physicality. We know if a team is not as talented, that is something they are going to do. They were very physical and we just have to be prepared for that."

On how long it took to find their footing with the style that Morehead played with ...
"It took us a little bit to get used to. We started off shooting too many jumpers but at the start of the second half, coach really got into us and just really told us we have to toughen up. I think that's what we did."

On if the team was prepared to face a team like Morehead with their style ...
"I think we were prepared but you don't know what it's like until you experience it. They hit us but we definitely just kept fighting back and staying strong and staying in the game."

On what went through the team's head when Morehead went on a 16-0 run early in the game ...

"We just stayed focused. We have had deficits before, being down against Duke. We just stay together as a team and brothers and just bring each other together and we rallied in the second half."
