I don't think anybody we played compares overall. Alabama, we just played last week, has a lot of great athletes. That's probably the closest thing to an overall team full of athletes as Memphis. |
I don't think I could even dream about that. |
I don't think it will be any more pressure. It's always beneficial to be somewhat close to home. |
I know at this time of year what's really important - as long as we're eligible and doing what we have to do in the classroom - I can pretty much focus on basketball. The majority of my focus is going toward the game. |
I mean, it won't really sink in for a while. |
I think Cedric knocked it loose. I picked it up. I found Luc under the basket. Once and for all. |
I think Coach wanted to establish a sense of urgency. We need to remember to take it one game at a time. We've been doing a great job of that lately. I don't think that's going to be a problem. |
I think our tradition really helps set the bar. Knowing that nothing but winning a national championship is accepted really helps us. We got to the Sweet 16, we got to the Final Four, but we won't be recognized unless we win that national championship. I don't think that adds pressure. I think that helps start the mission. |
I think we did a great job. They had 12 points in the first half. That's just great defense. Hats off to our guys. We kept our focus and came out and executed. |
I told (everyone) in the beginning of the year how good he was going to be, that he doesn't even know that. That's the scary part. He has no clue. He's just out there playing as hard as he possibly can and trying to get better. |
I told everybody how good Luc was going to be, and he doesn't even know that. That's the scary part. I could just see all the little things he did. |
I told him in the beginning of the year how good he was going to be. He doesn't even know that. That's the scary part. He has no clue. Anytime you focus on trying your best and not worrying about the result or thinking of failure, good things happen. |
I was off tonight. It was one of those nights. It wasn't because of the ankle. ... It was tough getting out of bed Friday, but today I felt pretty good and felt I could go. I do want to get healthy, but hats off to them. |
I was tired, exhausted. It wasn't too hard to calm down and go to sleep. |
I was very close to going to Florida. But coach Howland came to my high school and told me how things were going to be, that they would be successful and he wanted me to lead the ship. I had to make a tough decision. |
