With Lee going down, it's going to require Walter and David to step up and I feel like they are going to be able to do it. It's all about staying together and fighting through things together. We're going through some adversity, but I feel like it's a good time for us to come closer. We've got to stay together.
These days, there's nobody that's going to go unbeaten probably. There's too many good teams, so we're just trying to be the best we can be.
You either get better or worse, and I feel like we got better as a team. I think we're starting to push the ball a little more in transition, which we haven't been doing the last few games, and that's just good for our team.
That's the style we play and he's going to have to adjust to that. They're going to have to adjust. The bottom line is we are going to run all night. If he is not in good enough shape, I feel bad for him.
I am feeling a lot better; I'm taking care of myself drinking a lot of fluids and stuff. So I feel pretty good for the game (today).
Shoot it every time, that's the way I feel about him. Good shot, bad shot, I feel like it's going in with him. ... If he has that confidence, he's going to make them for us.
I have never heard the crowd that silent here at Rupp Arena before. So it was a good feeling, but I was a little shocked at the same time.
It was a real credit to (the guards). They really did a good job staying on their men.
They play really good defense, they're a scrappy team, a big hustle team. We've got to play harder than them.
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're the type of team where you have to make the extra pass. We took good shots.
I think they thought Walter was going for the dish, but Walter was finishing. He just made that read, and Walter was good for us.
We told them to be ready, you never know what's going to happen. And they went in and did a good job.
I can use my charms to raise money for a good cause. I just have to show up.
