My dad takes in the game, ... My mom gets into the game. |
Of course, we're a different team when Mike is out there because he's one of our best players. |
Once we were down we thought we could get back into it by making shots and making good plays. You get down by three or four, it's all right. But if you're down 10 or 12 it's really hard, no matter how good your shooters are, to get back into it. |
Our energy is always great around this time of year. We're always ready to play, especially since it could be the last game at any time for us seniors. |

Our energy on defense was probably better than it's been all year. We didn't like the way we played against Pitt. We wanted to change it. |
That's how college basketball is, ... It's how you perform at the end of the year and how you perform in big-time situations. I like to pride myself on making the big shots when I have to. |
That's just confidence. That's confidence in myself and confidence in my team. I'm not going to do that (be held scoreless) very often. Hopefully, it will just be once every four years. |
There have been games where we have given away leads, UCLA for example. |
There have been games where we have given away leads, UCLA for example. We know we will make plays at the end of games. We are a senior-laden team and we know how to win games. |
They made a great shot. They deserved to win. They're the better team. |
This is the most buzz I have ever seen around the basketball team. The football team has always had it, but right now for basketball to be seen how it is, it's tremendous. |
This team is bigger. With that tall lineup, they have the better inside game against almost every team they play against. I don't think there's another team in America with guys 6-9, 6-10 and 6-11 starting in their front court. |
We are ready to get rolling, ... People are tired of the preseason. I am still getting people coming up to me all the time, telling me that it was a great run. It happens everywhere. We're known now. And I think there are a lot of guys on the team that are confident. But none that are cocky. Everyone saw what we did last year, and it will be tough to repeat it. |
