Roy Williams - "It's (Temple's matchup zone) different. They're more aggressive on the ball in a zone than we're used to. "No excuse. No reason. They beat our tails.

Maybe we were ripe. "Things had been awfully smototh. You've got to have some adversity. I was not looking for it. It will be interesting to see how we react to it." TU coach John Chaney - "Geez, this is the worst team I've ever had in my llife. They can't shoot free throws, they can't play offense, but they can play defense. "He's (Jackson) a kid that has a lot of talent. he can hit that 10- to 15-foot jump shot. but we wanted him in there mixing it up. "In other games he was playing Yankee Doodle Dandy and shoing all these jump shots and hook shots. We wanted him inside getting beat up, and that's what he did tonight. Thank God for Marc Jackson.
