It was a great run for them. But it was time for them to go.
It's great to see your son doing his job on the court. But it was no surprise.
It would be great for (Donovan), our program and for the University of Florida to win a national championship. Our coaches have worked so hard, and we really want to give them this win.
They had a great run. I'm happy for them. Now it's time to go win a championship.
It's a great story, but we'd be a lot happier if it's a story that ended now.
It's all about confidence, and confidence comes from trusting your teammates. What's great about our team is we never know who's going to step up.
Chances are great we'll all be back next year. We love it here.
We obviously had a lot of fun. We've done some great things here.
You could just see it in their face. When we see they're tired - we're in great shape, so we aren't going to get tired. That's when we go in for the kill.
(The guards) make the other team take tough shots, make it hard on the 3-point line. They have just done a great job guarding (against 3-pointers).
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.
I knew I wasn't going to come in here and get 20 rebounds. Boxing out a guy like him is really a tough job.
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.
