Usually, the team that makes the most mistakes is going to be on the wrong side of the win/loss column. Credit Florida. They were terrific. This was their night. |
Very easily, (Gonzaga coach) Mark Few could be sitting where I am now, no question. |
We beat an NCAA Tournament team without question. It's not even an issue. |
We came out and felt like we got sped up by their defense. |
We can play any way you want to play. At the end of the day, we have to defend, rebound, take good shots and take care of the basketball. |
We can play any way you want to play. Florida wants to get up and down, they're going to try to press us, they're going to try to create a tempo that's up and down. That's great. |
We feel very, very fortunate to move on to the next round. |
We had a great year. Our goal is to get back here again next year and win it. |
We had a seven-point lead at the half, but then we came back out and got off to an unbelievable start against an NCAA tournament team. And although we won by 12, the score is not indicative of the fact that we were pretty much in control the last 16, 17 minutes of this game. It was really fun. |
We had autograph seekers knocking on our players' doors at midnight the night before we played Memphis . |
We had lost two straight games, and we needed this one. There was not even a remote thought of looking past this team. |
We have a student who helps out with the video -- he tore his ACL the other day. That's how it's been. |
We have great kids and they're all on the same page about winning and getting the program back to the highest level. |
We hit some tough shots. It was a night of tough shots. |
We played terrific tonight. It was our best defense of the year. |
