Maybe we don't look like we're tough guys, but the bottom line is we get the job done. I know, Villanova was tough. They were city kids. But we're going to play our game no matter who the other team has.
We've just got to adjust. We've seen zone before. It's all about ball movement and attacking through the middle, and I feel like as the game went on, we did a better job doing that.
It was a real credit to (the guards). They really did a good job staying on their men.
It's great to see your son doing his job on the court. But it was no surprise.
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.
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.
(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).
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.
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.
Each game he's getting better. You can see it out there.
We didn't need an exclamation point. We'd already done it.
We have everything going for us this weekend. We're not intimidated by them and all that magic stuff. I wouldn't want to play anybody else right now. Just get that over with.
Everyone's showing us a lot of love. Everyone is pretty excited about what's going on right now.
