I'm really glad Tushar stuck with it, even if it was slow at first. I'm really enjoying it.

Everyone is psyched about getting in them. Everybody wants to play in them.
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.
defense eager everybody pride wants
Everybody is eager to play defense this year. Everybody wants to get stops, everybody wants to press, everybody wants to do all that stuff, there's a lot of pride on defense.
everybody forever nobody remembered wants win
Everybody wants to win a championship, and to win the first one would be great. It's a milestone. Nobody else has done it so (we would) be remembered forever for that.

The best part is nobody is jealous. Because if we keep winning, the attention goes to all of us, anyway.

I hope those uniforms don't mess anything up if anybody is superstitious.

I never in my life thought I'd end up in the state of Minnesota. It never crossed my mind coming to Minnesota.

I'm unhappy because we just lost. We thought we had it in our hands, but we just didn't execute.

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.
It's crazy. It's like you're on a stage.
human protect themselves
It's human nature. They try to protect themselves from being embarrassed.

It's intense. Sometimes, you get tired of losing, so you do whatever you can. You try and foul the guy every time.
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.
