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.
He is contagious. If I see him working, then I want to work, and that is what we need to do to win.
