That's something that our team can't have. We've just got to take care of the ball (tonight). I think it was just trying to make plays that weren't there, maybe forcing things a little bit.
That's a big part of our game, is blocking shots. That's the way we play, and if somebody gets it in there, we're going to try to get it out.
It was kind of quiet. I didn't hear nobody. I've never heard Rupp like that.
Oh man, I was so tired of all the Cinderella talk. The bottom line was we had to come out and win this game.
Oh, man, it's just exciting. It's the point where every basketball player wants to be.
No matter who we play, it's all about seizing the moment.
It was a great run for them. But it was time for them to go.
Everybody was really excited, but we all know what time it is. We all know that this is just the beginning.
The best part is you always have friends around, no matter what. It's either one, two or all three of them. You always have somebody to be with or walk to class with or just hang out and talk.
It's a loss, but we've got 12 more games to go and we'll make the best of it. These days, nobody is going to go unbeaten.
It's always exciting when you're going against a high-profile team at home. We used to do that. This year we didn't do it.
It's a big part of our game. When the ball gets in, we want to get it out.
It was a real credit to (the guards). They really did a good job staying on their men.
They challenged our front court. And I think we handled them pretty well.
