There won't be any crime. There won't be any accidents, because nobody will be on the streets. |
There's a star born in all of these games and today it seemed to be Andre Allen. |
These players all know that I'll be the first one to say, 'Hey, you know what? It's time for you to go. I'll be the first guy. If it's time to stay, I'll be honest with them. |
They (East Carolina) came out and played like it was the Final Four. They could have easily won this game and we are lucky to be leaving here with a win. If ECU plays like that every night out, they will give a lot of teams trouble and make some noise in the conference. I take my hat off to Ricky and the team. We played as well as we could play. |
They (UAB) didn't go away, and they had shots to get right back into the game and missed some shots late. I thought the rebounding edge is what put us over the top. |
They are a very good team and they aren't your normal 16-seed. Everybody knows tat and everybody is talking about that. They are saying that this is the upset because they are not the typical 16-seed. They have seniors, they have (junior forward Caleb) Green inside, and they are as big and athletic as we are. That concerns me. |
They caused us to look that way. |
They could be playing like this is destiny and find the adrenaline to go crazy. Or they could be worn down. |
They have fresh legs and fresh minds and that's what we're always trying to strive for in March. |
They really were just bumping chest to chest, grabbing, pushing - and did a great job of it. |
They think they're supposed to win. |
They think they're supposed to win. It makes me laugh. They're looking at me, like, 'Would you calm down? |
They want it as bad for themselves as I want it for them. |
They're intelligent kids. They're doing well in school. They take care of business. ... Decision-making can be suspect at times based on their inexperience. |
They're not a normal 16th seed. They're just not that, and everybody knows it. That's why everybody is saying this is the upset and all those things. |
