It's real important. It helps everybody on this team understand their roles and knowing to do what they do best.
I'll probably get a nap in there. I usually take a nap early on, maybe an hour, not too long. I don't want to get too drowsy.
If I were a fan, I'd be rooting for them, too. But I'm playing. So we have to go out and take care of things.
I'll be really happy to play in front of a Gator crowd.
Against a team like this, you're going to get 10 or 15 blocks the way we play, but we know we're not going to do that against an SEC team, so it's just something that happens, I guess.
How can you overlook them? They went to the Sweet 16 last year, they've got all their guys coming back and we can't overlook them.
Chances are great we'll all be back next year. We love it here.
I feel like our guys just figured it out. They figured out that they had to go after loose balls and finish out possessions.
I can use my charms to raise money for a good cause. I just have to show up.
I could have shot the ball, but when I saw he had a better shot, I just gave it up to him. I always know that he's going to be around.
I committed to Michigan because that's what everybody wanted me to do, but it wasn't what I wanted. Once I got to hang around the guys down here, I knew where I belonged.
I can't consider them a mid-major team. I don't look at them that way. They're a really good team.
I'm going to try to just go around him and use my quickness.
I mean, it was like that. We're used to playing against bigger players and stronger players. But we had to come in and just get the job done.
