Every day, we go out and earn respect, and we have a lot of respect to earn. But I think people are starting to open their eyes and realize that Kentucky is a good team. |
I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. I don't even know what to say. I'm just so happy. |
It speaks a lot for our players that we kept our composure and didn't fold. In the past we would have folded and laid down and let them walk all over us. |
It was definitely a lot of pressure and I was shaking so much. It was probably the most pressure situation I've been in. I'm just thankful I knocked them down. |
It was just the same nightmare all over again. |
It was like everything stopped. It was like there was nothing going on around me. I could hear crickets, like in a movie or something. |
It was very stressful. I am not going to lie. I almost had a heart attack. But even if we had lost, it would have been a great learning situation for our team and one that is going to really help us the rest of the year. There's nothing to beat the experience and confidence we got from beating Tennessee. |
It would be a really good birthday present to beat them and get to the finals. |
It's huge. When we have all of the students behind us, it gives us more confidence and support. |
It's really not just another game. If we don't get fired up about this, you can't even call us a team. |
They were giving it to me, and I was taking it. It's probably one of the best feelings when you can come off the bench and knock down a couple of shots. |
This was a great experience and we would have liked the season to keep going. Next year will be different. |
We believed we could do it, and that's all it takes. |
We have nothing to lose. Absolutely nothing to lose. I think we'll play with that attitude and see what happens. |
We have to be on our 'A' game. If we play hard on every possession, we can play with them. |
