eating happy inside says
He says he's really happy for us. But it's eating him up inside to see us do this.
anybody believes team
We don't have anybody on this team who believes they're the superstar. We feel like we're all equals.
against felt focused south
We felt like we let those two (games against South Carolina) get away. We've got to come back in more focused (today).
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.
hungry
We were just a little more hungry that Kentucky. We wanted this one for so many reasons.
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.
supposed win
We didn't play like we were supposed to in the first half. We want to win so bad.
both happened pull
We still feel like we're the better team. We kind of let it get away from us. If we were to play them again, I think we could pull it off. The same thing happened in both games. We really didn't play as well as we could.
contact defend easier good job knocked
You make contact first and it's a lot easier to defend him. I kind of knocked him off balance. We did a pretty good job on him.
advantage best easier win
It would be like home-court advantage for us. So if we can try to win out and do the best we can so we can get to Jacksonville, it will make it that much easier for us in the tournament.
badly deserve final george mason playing team wants win wrong
George Mason is just another team that wants to win as badly as we do. They deserve the Final Four. If we come in with the wrong mind-set, we won't be playing very long.
anyone best easier everybody seed wants
Anyone who would say they're not, subconsciously, they are. Everybody wants to get the best seed they can, so it can be easier for them in the beginning.
against everybody execute game road
I look at this is another road game, because everybody is going against us obviously. It's another game that we have to come in and execute more than we execute at home. It's crazy.
enjoying glad slow stuck
I'm really glad Tushar stuck with it, even if it was slow at first. I'm really enjoying it.
