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.
games lost mindset motivates road tougher
It motivates us a little more. Away games are a lot tougher to win. So, our mindset has to be right. We've lost two road games already this year. I know all of us think about that.
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.
autograph ball best far games lee might played proud saw seen shooting shot
If Peyton saw how Lee shot the ball, he'd have to be proud of him. I don't know as far as (Manning) it being an inspiration or anything but Lee played great, one of the best games I've ever seen him play. . . . If Peyton saw Lee shooting the ball like he did, he might want his autograph now.
coming dollars fans far games home people personally spending thousands wrong
I could be wrong but a lot of the fans that are here now, I don't think they were here in the beginning. I think it's crazy. I personally feel like there were a lot of people who weren't coming to the games at home when they were free. Now they're spending thousands of dollars to come to games when we're far away.
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.
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.
corey feeling life pickup played seen shoot
I've never seen Corey shoot like this, never in my life not even in a pickup game. Corey was feeling it today, he was hot. He played great.
corey feeling played seen shoot today
I've never seen Corey shoot like this. Corey was feeling it today -- he was hot. He played great. If he can play like that every night, it will be that much better for our team.
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.
good pace win
There was a good pace to this game, but we didn't get the breaks. It's unfortunate because we need a win at home.
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.
