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).
against ball came confidence good guess name parks played players ready street themselves tough tougher york
Some of those players in New York have made a name for themselves in those parks and I guess Jo played pretty good against them. You know how street ball is, there's no referees. It's a tough game. So when he came back from there, his confidence was through the roof. He was a tougher player. He was ready for anything.
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.
against bigger ourselves prove
A lot of us want to prove ourselves against bigger teams.
against far hard match post quickness speed surprise teams
I think it's kind of been hard for a lot of teams to match up against us in the post as far as speed and quickness and all that kind of stuff. If they weren't able to do it, too, it wouldn't be a surprise to me.
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.
anybody believes team
We don't have anybody on this team who believes they're the superstar. We feel like we're all equals.
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.
defensive stop
We're a defensive team. I think we can stop anybody.
unselfish
We're a pretty unselfish team. We all like to keep each other involved.
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.
advance far prove win
We've still got a lot to prove to a lot of people. So we just want to go out and advance as far as we can and try to win the whole thing.
five passes
I was getting a lot of passes from the guys. I should have had five goals.
advancing felt good next people round
It felt great, but we don't feel as good as a lot of people may think about advancing to the next round because it's just another game.
