It's a competitive basketball game and everyone is out there playing hard. For a freshman to go at Chris is surprising. He's a pretty big dude. |
It's a matter of pick your poison. They sagged down on our big guys and left our shooters open. They picked the wrong poison tonight. |
It's a nice change of pace. Southern cooking, a lot of pies, cakes, cobbler, stuff like that - kind of what I'm used to, being from Texas. |
It's a nice place. Manicured lawn, very nice surroundings. |
It's a quick turnaround. You've got to think quick, move quick and forget things quick. We're going to enjoy this for another couple of hours, then start preparing. |
It's a team. That's what it's about -- everybody stepping in where you're needed. |
It's all about winning. Everybody is working toward the same goal. This is my last chance, so it is special. |
It's already behind us. Other people dwell on it more than we do. |
It's been a big whirlwind and not too much rest. |
It's been two extremes for me over the last five years. Whenever we lost early on in the tournament, the feeling has been one of infinite sadness. Now I feel euphoria and infinite happiness. This is a great feeling because it always feels good when you win. |
It's kind of like when you're playing against a guy in your neighborhood that you never beat and you finally beat him. Your confidence gets sky high. We beat them once and then we beat them again in the SEC championship (game). We just like getting wins against those guys. |
It's kind of pick your poison now. |
It's kind of reached rock-star, cult status. |
Keep working, man. It can be done. It's a euphoric feeling. It don't get no better. |
Kentucky is going to be a Kentucky team. (Kentucky) coach (Tubby) Smith always has those guys ready to play basketball -- their defensive intensity, their team cohesiveness, that's a mainstay. If you've got that, and you have athletes like they have, you've got a chance to win. You never can count Kentucky out for dead. |
