Gary Williams on Houston: "I really haven't seen them but obviously we do a good job of taping games during the year."
Gary Williams on playing in Spokane: "The tough thing is for the parents of the players to get out there on short notice."
Eric Hayes: "We were all clapping. We weren't jumping up and down like last year. It was more subdued because we know we were in."
More Hayes: "We didn't really want to go back tgo Buffalo because we'd been there before."
But Hayes said Spokane was near the bottom of favorite destinations because it's so far for fans and family members to travel.
FYI, Houston may have a mediocre won-loss record (19-15) but they possess the nation's leading scorer.in Aubrey Coleman, a 6-4 guard.
