They came out on fire in the second half. Thankfully, we were hitting shots, too. |
They did what they had to do. They had players coming in that were higher rated. |
They just weren't going in today, you know? Teams are playing a lot more physical and limiting my touches and trying to make me do stuff I don't want to do. |
This is Rupp Arena. It's hard to win up here. I think they felt like they had to win. This their home court, and you're supposed to protect your home court. But we never give up. We just keep executing plays and doing what we've got to do to win the game. |
We didn't make that run like we were earlier in the season. I don't know what it was. It just wasn't there toward the end of the season. We can learn from this and be ready for next year. |
We have a lot of people disappointed right now. It's our fault. Hopefully, they'll follow us in the NCAA Tournament and we can show them something special. |
We're just ready to play again. It doesn't matter where it is or who it's against. |
We're never going to quit, no matter how down we are. |
We've got heart. We don't back down from nobody. We're going to come at you for 40 minutes and get after you, and that's just how it is. |
You can get us down, but we're never going to quit. |
You've got to be careful. Forcing things doesn't really solve the problem. You've got to let the game come to you and shoot in the flow of the offense. |
