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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
