advance advantage best easier finish next strong win wrap
That would make it that much easier for us to advance to the next round. It would be like home-court advantage for us. So we need to try to win out and do the best we can so we can make it to Jacksonville and make it easier for ourselves. All of us want to finish strong and wrap it up. That would be huge.
coaches misses passing time until
That's the way it is in practice. Every time he misses a 3-pointer, the coaches keep passing it to him until he makes it. We want him to keep shooting.
came caught final might stuff team
We don't get caught up in all that (favorite) stuff. It's just a lot of talk. We came in (to the season) as a team that might not make it to the NIT and now we're in the Final Four, so all that stuff is irrelevant.
supposed win
We didn't play like we were supposed to in the first half. We want to win so bad.
exact execute good happened needed stretch
We just didn't execute down the stretch like we needed to. Same exact thing happened twice. We didn't play as good as we can and we didn't execute at the end of the game.
hungry
We were just a little more hungry that Kentucky. We wanted this one for so many reasons.
came family fight praying talking tried
It got kind of frustrating. But I came through it, and tried to fight through it everyday, talking to my family and praying a lot, so I got through it.
defense great playing win
It's great for us. We've just got to keep playing defense and play even better if we want to win the whole thing. I think we can do it.
good great happy unless win
It's great being here, but I don't think it's good enough. We won't be happy unless we win the whole thing.
enjoying glad slow stuck
I'm really glad Tushar stuck with it, even if it was slow at first. I'm really enjoying it.
anybody hope mess uniforms
I hope those uniforms don't mess anything up if anybody is superstitious.
everybody psyched wants
Everyone is psyched about getting in them. Everybody wants to play in them.
against biggest bunch care expected game nobody pulling stuff
Everyone has been pulling against us. We're used to it. From day one, nobody expected us to be where we are now. Everyone expected us to be in the NIT and now we're in the biggest game we can be in in college. All that stuff is a bunch of hype. We don't care about that stuff, all we have to do is go out and execute.
defense eager everybody pride wants
Everybody is eager to play defense this year. Everybody wants to get stops, everybody wants to press, everybody wants to do all that stuff, there's a lot of pride on defense.
