We just put in the effort. Then teams don't do what they normally do. They look at each other, they point fingers. They're like deer in the headlights; their eyes get real big. |
We just tried to maintain our focus and go out and play. |
We know where the bar is set. You don't really get recognized unless you win a national title. |
We learned from that mistake. At halftime, guys were looking at each other, saying, 'No joking, stay serious and don't let it happen again. |
We never got going offensively but they didn't either. I know I didn't do anything special offensively, but I'm the happiest guy on the planet. |
We only care about winning. Winning is all that's important. |
We see it every night. They do things they don't normally do, looking at each other and pointing fingers. Their eyes get big, like a deer in the headlights and really don't know what hit them. That's just from us playing hard and playing together. It's not any special recipe. It's just, really, you know, sucking up, defending and playing hard on that side of the ball. |
We spend most of our time on defense. It started from day one. ... We're always going to be physical. We have to be because in order to beat a team, you have to rebound, and to rebound you have to be physical. |
We were a completely different team in November, and I'm sure they are, too. We've grown so much. It's going to be a completely different game ? much different from when we played them in November. |
We were just trying to apply extreme pressure. We were down one, we needed to force a steal and were going to foul if they got past half court. |
We were sold. That's the only reason why we're still alive, because we really believed in it. |
We worked hard and got better and tried to help our younger guys understand what we were talking about. We gained so much experience as a unit, it'll be interesting coming back. |
We'll be fine. It was last night. That's over. Got a good night's rest. ... It wasn't that draining. It was just draining for the time being. It was an exhilarating experience. It just took a lot out of you. |
We'll never forget what happened against Gonzaga. |
We're not worried about selling tickets. |
