If he doesn't make those threes, the game doesn't look like the pace had any effect on us. He was just magnificent. |
If it's a decision where it looks like he's coming back a little too early and I think it may jeopardize his long-term ability to play in the NBA, then he won't come back. |
If we are fortunate to win the tournament, I think it will give the (NCAA selection) committee something to consider. |
If you're going to go to the Final Four, win the Final Four, at some point you're going to have to play Duke. |
It can set the tone for us. I truly believe our program is overachieving a tad bit when you look at the big picture. But hopefully we can continue to overachieve. |
It doesn't make any difference. We're going to have to play a good team, and that's what it is. Last year, we won our league, and we were a 12th seed. We'll probably get another 12th seed. I'm just telling you. You're asking me a question that I don't have an answer for, so all I can do is guess. |
It had nothing to do with our shooting. It had something to do with our mind-set and our focus. |
It was disheartening to play well enough to put us in the position to win, but we just couldn't make the free throws. I don't know if it was the fact that it was the NCAA tournament and we weren't used to the atmosphere, but I'm hoping that's where our experience will pay off if we're in that situation this year. |
It's amazing that we were able to will ourselves to this game. I thought we played our hearts out, we never gave up, and played hard on every possession. |
It's amazing we were able to find a way to will ourselves to this game. |
It's great for the fans; I think it means more to them. Maybe at the end of the season I can reflect on it. But when you're in the middle of the season and you have a tough stretch coming up, you don't think about it. |
It's hard to say you're not happy at 26-1. It's incredible when you put this in proper perspective what these guys have done. |
It's more of a surprise. Disappointment? No. We won the league last year and we were a 12th seed, so we've improved. |
Last year they came in and won the game; that's how I would define it. Revenge is never on our mind. What's on our mind is playing defense, rebounding, taking care of the ball, and running our transition game. |
Let's have some poise. Let's have some patience. |
