A sense of urgency came over the team. Once a team gets down like we did, you just have to keep doing what you're good at. |
Anything can happen. Anyone can win. |
He gets the utmost respect from everyone on the team. He's always on the ground, going for loose balls. He's bumping, he's battling. It definitely shows his character and how he wants to contribute to this team. |
He got a good look. Whitey makes that shot 80 percent of the time. |
He has the best jump hook I've ever seen. When he's active and fighting for the ball, fighting for position, no one can stop him. |
I couldn't even tell you where it slipped away. I couldn't tell you what happened or why it happened or anything. They were just the better team tonight. |
I didn't feel it as much during the game because of the adrenaline. During timeouts, that's when it starts throbbing, but the win definitely takes a lot of the pain away. |
I've loved March Madness since I was in elementary school. Basketball is a team game, and whatever team plays best that night deserves to win. That's the beauty of college basketball. You look around the country and see underdogs beating top teams. |
It feels great, especially against an undefeated team from the Big 12. They're not undefeated for no reason. Now, they have a blemish on their record, and it's thanks to us and our team. |
It was so close I could taste it. I could taste victory. It was within our grasp, and then it slipped away. |
It's been on us all year. |
My rhythm felt really good. My teammates were finding me, and luckily I knocked down some shots. |
The Big West Tournament is basically a new season. Teams have new life, and whichever team plays the best deserves to win. That's college basketball. That's the beauty of it. |
There was a stretch when we'd get some energy, but they'd come right back and hit a three. They are a great shooting team. They hit their shots, and unfortunately, we didn't hit ours. They hit five more threes than us, and that's the difference right there. |
There was no way I was coming out of this game. |
