Those are shots I'm capable of shooting. I don't think they had their rotation down as well as they'd like. |
To be any seed, in any bracket, is fine with me. |
We all have our soft spots. Don is a hell of a person. He's worked hard. |
We didn't come in with the mind-set that we were going to blow them out, we came in thinking it was going to be a tougher game. We had to be tougher, and I think we established that. |
We didn't defend the 3-point line. We just didn't defend, period. Any time two guards go off for 66 points, you're not playing defense. That speaks for itself. |
We didn't defend the three-point line at all. We just didn't defend. We came out a little bit like we were guaranteed a win. |
We stepped to the challenge. A lot of games we could have just given up on, we could have just fallen down and said, 'Forget it, we're not that good.' There was adversity, but we played with heart. |
We've only talked about it three times all year. Lou doesn't let a lot of things bother him. That says a lot about his character. |
You definitely have a lot of respect for teams like that, no matter what conference they come from. They came out with a great deal of energy and they wanted to let everybody know they earned being here. |
You have a lead against the eighth-ranked team in the country, you know they're going to fight back. |
You have to use your quickness, your pump-fake game, to get inside of them and try to get them in foul trouble. Playing against big bodies all night is kind of tough. You have to try to wear them down. |
You know they're going to throw stuff at you, they're going to try to trap, they're going press, they're going bring in a bunch of shooters. You just have to be mentally focused to handle that. |
