believe excited glad hard minnesota state weather
It's hard to believe we're here in the state of Minnesota. I never thought I'd go to Minnesota for any reason. But here we are, and we're excited to be here. I'm glad I don't live in weather like this, though.
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.
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.
far hard match post quickness speed team
I think it's been hard for any team to match up with us in the post as far as speed and quickness and all that kind of stuff.
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.
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.
