A lot of guys have been here for a while and we haven't done anything. Coach Collier said he's tired of waiting and we're tired, too.

Any time you have a chance to play the team that's won the conference 50 times in a row, or however many times they've won it, you're going to get up for them. Every time we get a chance to play them we want to do our best. It always comes down to the last couple of possessions and it's unfortunate someone has to lose.

Big time. That's all I can say about our seniors. They've been leading us all year and it showed tonight as both of them stepped up big.
|
But when it comes time to play, you have to be ready. Those (banners) are things from the past.

By the end of the game it was just two good teams going at it and we made the plays we had to make.
|
Coach had told us to be patient, that play would be there.
|
Every night, most of the focus is on me.
|
Every time we go there it's good for two days, then we have a sour bus ride home. We remember that. We've never been over the hump and until we get that done, we won't know what it feels like.
|
I can't say for everyone, but that's the way it looked.
|
I think our maturity factor kicked in tonight.
|
I think we did grow up.
|
I thought they played well together. That just goes to show you don't need one of the best players in the league to play well. It came down to they wanted it more than us. We had no sense of urgency and they did.
|
I was able to get some open looks. And unlike recent games, I was able to knock them down.
|
It just shows that everybody can play, whether you are a mid-major, a major, whatever.
|
It's always frustrating when you get good looks and the ball doesn't go in the hole. That's what keeps you humble in this game. If you made everything, this would be an easy game.
