We play around with him, like Lee, we've got to take you out to the clubs, show you around. But he's not like that.
They had a great run. I'm happy for them. Now it's time to go win a championship.
They're a mid-major school, they made it to the Final Four and that's a big story. But all stories have to end. And we knew we had to end it tonight.
There's always a chance. But I really like it here, and I want to be here.
That's not his thing, going out to clubs and stuff like that. He'd rather just stay at home and chill.
There was not much we could do (last season) because it wasn't our team. It was frustrating at times because we wanted to push the ball. (Anthony) Roberson and Matt Walsh just wanted to walk ... it ... up. I loved playing with those guys but it was frustrating at times.
They play really good defense, they're a scrappy team, a big hustle team. We've got to play harder than them.
The bottom line is we didn't execute, and we didn't get stops at the end. That's why we lost the game.
After Matt and David and Peep left, we decided we were always going to have to stick together. It was going to be about us, it was about the team, it wasn't about one unique player.
Coach did a good job of warning us that we had to come out and play hard. We either get better or we get worse. We think we got better.
They were leaving the wrong guy open. When you leave Lee, he's going to make you pay for it.
They're the type of team where you have to make the extra pass. We took good shots.
I think the culture is always going to be a football culture, as we well know. But I think this definitely impacts the way people are going to start looking at us.
I think we're blocking out. We're just not jumping to get the ball as quickly as we can.
