everybody forever nobody remembered wants win
Everybody wants to win a championship, and to win the first one would be great. It's a milestone. Nobody else has done it so (we would) be remembered forever for that.
attention best goes nobody
The best part is nobody is jealous. Because if we keep winning, the attention goes to all of us, anyway.
alligator crap guy talked
That's the guy that talked all that crap about us in the Alligator before. That's him right here.
anybody doubling given great guards knew pick points score smart somebody step turn
That's one of the great things about our team. Anybody can step in and score the points for us at any time. It's just somebody else's turn on any given night. . . . We were smart enough to pick up what they were doing. We knew once they started doubling (down low), our guards would be wide-open.
believe excited glad hard minnesota state weather
It's hard to believe we're here in the state of Minnesota. I never thought I'd go to Minnesota for any reason. But here we are, and we're excited to be here. I'm glad I don't live in weather like this, though.
It's crazy. It's like you're on a stage.
human protect themselves
It's human nature. They try to protect themselves from being embarrassed.
foul guy tired whatever
It's intense. Sometimes, you get tired of losing, so you do whatever you can. You try and foul the guy every time.
caught
We don't really get caught up in that kind of stuff. That's a lot of talk.
blow came dig hard work
We just had to dig in and focus, because we didn't want to lose. We came a long way and put it in a lot of hard work for us to blow this game.
anyone best came college everybody history lose might outside teams
We might not lose to anyone if everybody comes back. I might be going outside of myself right now, but I think if everybody came back we could be one of the best teams in the history of college basketball.
win year
We could win championships every year and that's just how it is.
cinderella everybody outcome
Everybody wanted to see us lose. We just had to make the Cinderella story a different outcome than all the ones in the movies.
bet eager guys sitting wish
We're going to be eager all day. I bet most of the guys wish they could get up at 7 p.m. and then just go play. There's going to be a lot of sitting around, and we're going to get anxious.
