Maybe people thought of us as a running team. Or a three-point shooting team. A no-contact team. We've changed that image.
Guys are sagging so much in the lane, especially this team. They want you to shoot three's. You can't leave a guy like Lee Humphrey wide open like that and try to sag off, and we made them pay tonight.
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.
It's tournament time, man. You've got to shoot it with confidence. You feel me?
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.
Beating Kentucky is very exciting for us, especially at Rupp Arena. We just wanted to come out and win. It's big for our program.
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.
You always dreamed about getting to this point. It is big in my mind. I'm pretty excited about it.
