That's who I thought was going to come here. I was getting ready to meet him. |
They came out and totally out-rebounded us. |
They were getting lay-up after lay-up and throwing ally-oops to each other dunking. That put us down a little bit. We are the team that usually does that. |
To feel like we're set for the NCAA Tournament, we have to win every single game. If we don't, we're going to feel like we're on the bubble, and we don't want to be in that position. |
We came out and played hard. A lot of people expected us to lose so we wanted to make sure that we came out and played tough. It got out of hand because both teams were getting very aggressive. |
We came out with the fire and intensity that we weren't going to lose. Defense is the key. No team can score if you play great defense. That's what we did. |
We can't lose. We don't want to be waiting around on the bubble, not knowing if we're in or out. |
We discussed the rebounding troubles we had, and that they needed to stop. I told them that if I had to take the rebound from them, that's what I was going to do. We need rebounds. |
We felt we weren't fouling, but the refs saw it a different way. We thought we were getting fouled as well, but I guess the refs didn't see it that way. They got to the line a lot. |
We have to get together as a team and just talk. What is going on right now should not be happening. Everybody has their own opinion of what's going on and things we have to do. |
We just have to go and fight this every day. And work on defense. |
We knew something was up, but we didn't want to get into his business. He played like he always plays. He's aggressive and plays hard. |
We let them get a lot of rebounds that we should have come up with that were real crucial. |
We should not be losing at home. This is our domain and we are supposed to protect it. |
We tied it up and went on our run, but after that, we couldn't put the ball in the basket. |
