All the goals we play on this year are 10 feet. We can't think about different places that we play in. It's the same court, 94 feet. |
All we needed was a crack in the door. Vanderbilt missed some free throws and we got in there. |
Every time we made a run, I made a bad play. We couldn't get control of our offense because I didn't have control of the team. I didn't do my job out there and that reflected on the whole basketball team. I take full responsibility. Those guys were counting on me, and I didn't come through. |
From the outside (people) probably think this is an upset all over again. It just happened, we're not a good team, we just came in and played good basketball, it wasn't Florida's night. People will say we won two games over them, but if we played them again it wouldn't be like that. |
He played like a lion tonight, he left it all out there. |
He's yelling, but he's yelling with excitement and with a smile on his face. There's no way for us to go in [to games] tight. He'll have a smile on his face the whole practice, almost. He's slapping fives, stuff he doesn't do during the regular season. |
I played a horrible game. I should take total responsibility of the game. Every time we got a run I think I made a bad play. We couldn't really get control of our offense because I wasn't controlling the team. I didn't do my job. Those guys were really counting on me (and) I didn't come through for them. |
I told the guys, we didn't deserve to win games then. Now, I think we do. |
It would have sounded crazy to people outside of this basketball team, but we believed. We didn't come here to play one or two games. We came to win a championship. |
It's the same old story. We just can't seem to find it down the stretch. We always seem to have a mental lapse. |
It's time to step up. |
It's very devastating. We just have to still play. We can't give up. We still have to believe in ourselves. That game was ours and we know it. We let it slip right through our fingers. |
Same old story, same old story. We just can't get it. It's crazy. It's so frustrating. It's frustrating to the high degree, to be out there knowing we can win and coming out on the losing end all the time. |
Some people may go out and think, oh this isn't a good team, so they get lackadaisical. We know we have a good team, though. We have to keep the mindset this is a good team. |
The (people on) the outside probably think this was an upset. They may think that we aren't a good team. But we just came in and played some good basketball. |
