That's every player's dream, to get to the Final Four. That's what you play college basketball for. We have an opportunity to get there, but we have to play a good team first. |
That's every team's dream, to get to the Final Four and win the national championship. Just the excitement, the atmosphere. That's what you play college basketball for. |
That's our team. That's our makeup. |
That's the equalizer in college basketball. If you defend the 3-point line, you are going to have a good chance of winning any night. |
That's the thing with our team. We when were losing, we didn't close games out. Today we closed this game out. |
That's the way he always is. |
The whole team had the mind-set that we were a championship team. We knew what we had to do from the beginning and we just had to go out and prove it with our play. |
They already beat us. We're motivated to play every game but we've got to be extra-focused for this game because they beat us at their place. It was an embarrassing loss, so we'll be ready for this game. |
They knocked down threes. That was the key to the game. We were bad in transition and they knocked down threes. |
They physically killed us last year. They got every rebound, they got every loose ball. The way they defend, they take people out of their offense, and that's what they're going to try to do to us. |
They physically killed us. They got every rebound, every loose ball. |
They responded great. We knew they were going to have come in and help us. That's why they practice with us every day. We have confidence in them. |
They were quick on the perimeter. In the second half, we did a better job not giving them easy fouls. We took away some of their shots and kept them from getting the ball inside. |
They were really determined. But we were, too. We thought we let a game against them get away from us at their place. This was a contest we wanted. |
They'd better stay in college. |
