I can't think of a team that needed that type win more than ours did anywhere in the country tonight. It's one of those deals where you just feel like you're capable of doing something special, but you haven't done it yet. |
I certainly envisioned at the beginning of the year we'd be able to beat anybody in the league and that would include all of the good teams. |
I couldn't say that was a championship caliber game in terms of playing really really well. |
I didn't realize it's been that long. If we can do that, it would be pretty special. |
I do think our defense was solid all around, so was Georgia's defense. If you have a chance to win at the end, you have to be happy with that, and we not only had one chance to win, but two. |
I don't know how to explain it, particularly in light of the fact that we lost nine straight times to them coming into the season. |
I don't know how you explain that, particularly in light of the fact I had personally lost to them eight straight times. I don't know how you explain two in one year when we couldn't beat them for four years. |
I don't know quite as much about Cincinnati as I'd like. I think we know enough to know that defensively, we've got to stop them in transition. |
I don't know that I've seen him play a better floor game than he played tonight. |
I don't know that our team rivals that, and I certainly don't rival him, but the accomplishment remains the same. We did win two back-to-back and for that I am thankful and very, very proud. |
I don't know that we could ask our team to play any better than they did these two games here. We were playing well at the right time. ... This was a special team. |
I don't think anybody had a blueprint for how the NIT committee operated; they were free to do what they thought was right. They had to make money to exist. |
I don't think he's ready. He needs a year of perimeter play. |
I don't think I'll hear anybody say, 'Coach, we've been there and done that,' but it might be thought of. Our season was an NIT season up to (the tournament). |
I don't think it helped us at all. There's no doubt in my mind this league is going to get six (teams in the tournament). It deserves at least six. I don't think we'll get seven. |
