court craziest crowd final four front memories people playing regional san walking
There are so many memories from that year. Playing the regional in San Antonio was one of the craziest environments I've ever been in. It was an unbelievable situation. Then walking on the court in front of 50,000 people at the Final Four was something else. I've never been in front of a crowd that big.
approach final four game remaining tonight
Kenton and I went to a Final Four as freshmen, and now we have a Big 12 championship. We have to approach every remaining game like we did tonight and see if we can get back to the Final Four.

Jones was a load down low. He is so physical that we had to bang with him and do anything we could to keep him away from the basket.
affect heck learns matter smart stay within
He has just got to play within himself. He just has to stay down. He is a heck of a defender. No matter what he does, he is going to affect a shot. You just have to be smart with it. He will be fine. He learns from every game.
He is contagious. If I see him working, then I want to work, and that is what we need to do to win.

We know everybody thinks Illinois will come out of it. Maybe that's a way to sneak up and bite somebody, and we can show the world what we can do.

We're not even thinking about Duke. We can't afford to.

It was tough. We were close to winning it all, and then we fell short. I don't just want to go through that again, I want to win it all.

I didn't know what to expect. Sometimes, the older guys pick on you, but Brendan took me under his wing like I was his brother.

I know you're not supposed to look up to guys younger than you, but he's a guy I look up to. He rubs off on you.

I love it when games get physical. It was an all-in-all fun game.
atmosphere chanting crowd cut exciting fans football front hear loud played time
The fans chanting 'Texas fight!' were as loud as those at a football game. The atmosphere was incredible. Every time we scored a basket, I couldn't hear myself think because the crowd was so loud. We played so hard, and it made it so much more exciting to cut down the nets in front of all of our fans.
talk thinking
I'm not even thinking about Duke. I don't even want to talk about Duke.
