glory team
We didn't want for them to have that exceptional story -- Glory Road, all that stuff. We don't want to be the team on the movie that got beat, that got upset. We didn't want to be that team.
happy looking means reach sweet winning
We're happy to be winning at this stage, but by no means are we satisfied. We were never looking to just reach the Sweet 16. We want to win it all.
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).
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.
hungry
We were just a little more hungry that Kentucky. We wanted this one for so many reasons.
david dominated effort hit size stepped
They stepped up big time. David stepped in and hit a shot. Walter ... dominated for his size and the effort he put in.
against bigger ourselves prove
A lot of us want to prove ourselves against bigger teams.
advantage capable knew playing taking
All of us knew what he was capable of when he first got here. He just is going out and playing ball. He's just getting opportunities and he's taking advantage of it.
beginning everybody lose ncaa people round sweet
That's just how it is; that's how people are, how they think. If we go out and lose in the first round (in the NCAA Tournament), everybody will say, 'I told you so.' If we go to the Sweet 16, everybody will be surprised, like they were at the beginning of the season.
nobody season talking
There was nobody talking to us when the season started. Now look at this.
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.
