A lot of teams that have won their conference tournaments have lost in the first two rounds. It was unfortunate to lose, but it got us hungry again. |
A lot of that credit goes to our coaches. But, just to be considered in the same breath with those teams is a great feeling. |
All the Texas guys were saying, 'He's bleeding, he's bleeding,' but once I saw him come back in, I knew we had a chance. When he hit that shot with five seconds, I thought we had a good chance. |
And we don't play well with a big lead, It was a little rough out there, but that's what you expect when it's one loss and you are out. |
Any seed is exciting for us because there are only 65 teams who got a chance to see their names go up on that screen and we were one of them. Now that we are in, it is up to us to make the most of it. Every game from here on in could be the last one of the season -- and for us seniors our last one, period -- so we're focused and ready to go. |
Anytime you're in a game like this, you're going to be a little nervous. Against a tremendous team like Texas, you worry about them. |
Both of my calves cramped up really bad. I went back in, but they cramped up again. But, we believe in our bench and they did a great job once again. |
Even though we've really struggled lately, it seems like we can play with anyone and beat anyone at home or on the road. It gives us a lot of confidence we can go in and play against anyone, anywhere. |
Every game, they're going to try to take Kevin and I out of the game. |
For us five seniors never to go out on the court again, it's kind of sad. |
Going down by 12 points in the first half, we knew we were a better team than that. I think we showed we had a lot of heart in the second half. |
He didn't let me get off the screens. He hounded me everywhere I went. |
He had the ball in front of me and I just got lucky and tipped it and stole it from him. I'm feeling pretty happy right now. |
He told me to quit making my shots. I looked at him and said, 'Man, what about you?' He is possibly the best freshman in the league. |
He's an underrated point guard, and I think he's one of the best in the country. He's always looking to create things, but he can score, too. He just seems to know where the other guys are going to be. |
