anybody believes team
We don't have anybody on this team who believes they're the superstar. We feel like we're all equals.
anybody hope mess uniforms
I hope those uniforms don't mess anything up if anybody is superstitious.
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.
anybody foreign knows nobody
Minnesota. Nobody knows anybody here. We're in a foreign place.
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).
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.
break defensive equals everybody fast gets hyped leads starts steals stop talking trash
I think that starts in our scrimmages where everybody is talking trash and challenging each other. During games, once we get a defensive stop it kind of leads to a fast break, and a fast break equals points. Then everybody gets more hyped because they want to get more steals and more dunks.
trying turned
I was just trying to get out of the way and that turned out to be a two-goal swing. That was the game, the difference.
