It's probably the best I've played throughout my career. I'm older, a lot wiser, more comfortable and I feel great. I'm in pretty good shape. It feels good. |
It's tough to swallow, especially when we thought we had them on the ropes. We just didn't match their intensity the second half. |
It's tough, but it's fun. It's draining, but I'm glad I had a chance to be a part of it. |
Its one of the greatest individual performances I've ever seen. |
Its one of the greatest individual performances I've ever seen. I think he's done enough, in my eyes, to be on it. |
No matter who they went to they made the big shots. They would have beat a lot of teams with the way they shot the ball. |
One cool thing about mathematics is they (the audience) don't have to be able to understand math to see the passion that makes it so exciting to them. |
Over the years, the pattern has shown they usually go with the guys who have better records, on the teams that are at the top of the conference. I think it's more satisfying to make it (this way). |
That was the difference in the game. They gave the starters a cushion at the start of the fourth quarter. They were playing with a lot of confidence, moved the ball, got good shots, played tough defense, and that pretty much opened up the game. So the starters got back in and put it away. |
That's in the past, and that's where it's staying. |
That's what we're trying to understand -- how to put teams away. It's a learning experience for us. |
The kid had a lot of hype coming out of high school, and nobody understands the type of pressure that is at such a young age. It's amazing that he can handle the type of pressure that's been put on him since such a young age, and he's been doing it well. |
The last story with Siegfried was the funniest. It's good that these guys are still able to do that [come in and talk to us] for the young players to see what the tradition is all about. They hear about it, but until you really come here and experience it yourself, you really don't understand. |
The last time I had a run like this was probably my senior year in high school. We've lost so many close games this year that we just needed to give ourselves a chance. |
The look on his face pretty much said everything. I had to get it up over him or he would have blocked it. I just lined it up with the rim. |
