We're never worried about off nights because we've got guys who can fill it up.
I think Kyle does a great job of finding the guys who know how to score.
It's a much needed rest. We're definitely going to take advantage of it. We got a couple of guys banged up. That should definitely help us out going into the tournament with that much rest.
The brace was really good, it eliminated the pain. Even if I was on the bench I was still going to cheer the guys on. Just to play was very special.
That's just what we do. That's how we play. That's our system. Until somebody decides to stop us guards, then we'll continue to do that. Once they do stop us or we have an off night, we have guys that we can go inside too. A lot of people don't think we have an inside game.
The last two years, Coach Wright's been real in depth with what he wants us to do. He definitely defined everyone's roles on the team. He basically just bases the offense on guys doing what they do best.
We're trying not to get caught up in the rivalry.
We just weren't being as aggressive on defense and we normally are. We needed to turn it up in the second half.
With all the media attention and all that's going on, I don't want all the focus to be on me. I just want to say my eye's fine, there's nothing wrong with it, so please no more questions about it. I just want to focus on basketball.
We just feed off each other. Sometimes Randy gets it going and everyone on the team knows that and we'll try to find him. Sometimes Mike (Nardi) gets it going and we find him. Sometimes I get it going and everyone finds me.
We knew about Monmouth, we knew they were a very good team. We definitely didn't underestimate them.
We hit a lot of shots early and once you hit shots early, you get a lot of confidence as a team.
Every shot was contested, you know? There were very few open looks. Florida did a great job of contesting our shots and made sure that we took tough shots.
When we jumped out on them early, we were all saying in our heads, 'We've got them exactly where we wanted them to be.' ... That was the best position you could have the No. 1 team in the country: 21-9 in the first half. We couldn't ask for anything more.
