    Channing Frye & Salim Stoudamire Eye NBA

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Channing Frye and Salim Stoudamire now know how Luke Walton, Jason Gardner and Ricky Anderson felt after Arizona's loss to Kansas in the 2003 Elite Eight - dazed and in denial.
    All five seniors saw their UA careers come to an end in a close game. At least Walton, Gardner and Anderson got to experience a Final Four in 2001.

    "I don't know what I'm going to do, probably go home and figure something out," Frye said after UA's 90-89 overtime loss to Illinois on Saturday night.

    The 6-foot-11 center improved his NBA stock with solid NCAA games, including 24 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks against the Illini.

    I do want to go places like the NBA and stuff, but right now I think I need to spend as much time with my teammates before I leave," Frye said. "Maybe I'll rest my body for a week or two and then get back on it. I'll take all this as motivation. I want to be a winner somewhere. I feel like I almost accomplished that here."

    Frye and Stoudamire have said they will try to finish out their schooling this semester - both are close to graduating - and then focus on a pro career.

    In talking with his hometown paper, The Oregonian in Portland, Ore., Stoudamire was asked if he had any thoughts about playing for the Portland Trail Blazers next season.</div> Source
