I can't believe how big this room is. |
I can't wait, man, I can't wait. I don't think they know what's coming. |
I don't know if you saw the North Carolina game. We were down 16-2 in that one. We just had to regroup, keep our poise and come back. |
I e-mailed my teacher. I said 'Man, I can't focus, to be honest with you. I've been playing basketball, it's NCAA time, we're in the Final Four, can I get an extension?' He hasn't replied yet. I'm going to check my e-mail when I get back to my room. |
I guess anything can happen. |
I hope they come out and cheer us on. Nobody even expected us to get in the Final Four. For us to get in, people have something to cheer for. We?re the Dallas Cowboys of 2006. |
I just knew how he felt. Selection Sunday, I'd never seen him that emotional, and he got real emotional. I just gave him a big hug and told him I couldn't let his career end. |
I just recall everyone saying we weren't supposed to be here, and now we're in the Elite Eight. It was just an adrenaline rush from my head down to my feet. I can't describe it. It was an awesome feeling. |
I looked up in the stands and saw my mother and father crying. I can't describe what it really felt like. It was just pure joy. This is something I've been dreaming of all of my life. |
I think I was joking when I said that. |
I think I was joking when I said that. For it to come true, it shows you never to stop dreaming, no matter how old you are. This shows you anything can happen. |
I think I was joking when I said that. I started dreaming when I got to college. It shows you anything can happen. |
I think it's a Hollywood story already. If anybody wants to make a movie, come see me. I'll play my part. I'm a good actor. I can make a serious face. |
I was kind of kidding when I said that. |
I was looking at how big the room was, how many media people were here. I saw Coach 'L.' He was serious, answering questions, bobbing his head, and I was laughing, that was all. |
