beat league
If they beat us, they'll probably have the league pretty well in hand.
fat picture statue
If they ever do, they've got to take my picture from about 20 years ago when I was kind of thin. I don't want a fat statue out there.
anyone bigger concern definitely handle last match team year
Last year we could handle bigger teams. This year that's definitely a concern of mine. We had a team that could match up with anyone last year. We don't have a team like that this year.
aggressive bringing consistency continues fun late mike
Mike is bringing consistency to his position. He's been a little more aggressive of late and, hopefully, it continues because it's been fun to watch.
good players
There are always good players out there. You just have to be in the right place at the right time.
easy games played
There haven't been a lot of easy games here over the years. They've always played well here.
create problems
You have to create match-up problems somewhere. If you don't have any advantages, it's going to be a long day.
deserve emotion emotions great ready week
We really didn't deserve to win. We just didn't have great emotion and we had all week to get ready for this game. I'm amazed. I thought we were going to be excited.
hard win worked year
We want to win this thing by ourselves. We've worked hard all year to get into this position.
happy hope looking losing love
It's not like they've been losing a lot, and we got after them. I love that. I was looking to see if we were going to be tentative or aggressive, and I was happy to see us being aggressive. I hope we see the same thing (today).
best
That's one of the best conferences in the (nation), and I'd like to play them just for a comparison.
almost beat carolina duke good north obviously
Wow, they are athletic, disciplined and well-coached. That's not a very good combination. They're obviously tested. If you can beat North Carolina one day and almost beat Duke the next, you're obviously very, very good.
revenge knows
I don't know about them, but I sure am. I'm out for revenge.
basketball beat best four next people
We know people can beat us in our conference. That's why we have to see if we can play our best basketball over the next four games.
