We know we've got what it takes. It's not even a question. It's just a question of how much we want it. We've got to come out and play as hard as we can, and everybody has to be on the same page. |
We still had to show our respect to Vermont because they came out and played hard and they're a respectful team. They're a team that's built their history, too, so you've got to respect those guys. |
We were a little sluggish early on and Coach told us to be ready to enter the game in a hurry to give the team a lift. We were prepared to stay fresh in case we had to play a lot of minutes. |
We've played in tough games ourselves and tough atmospheres. You've got to give credit to those (Vermont) guys and you've got to respect them, but at the same time, we're all basketball players and we've all been in hostile environments. |
You have to show a little respect (for the opposition). But I guess we started a little early. It was a fun time. |
