nobody season talking
There was nobody talking to us when the season started. Now look at this.
came family fight praying talking tried
It got kind of frustrating. But I came through it, and tried to fight through it everyday, talking to my family and praying a lot, so I got through it.
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.
everybody psyched wants
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.
attention best goes nobody
The best part is nobody is jealous. Because if we keep winning, the attention goes to all of us, anyway.
enjoying glad slow stuck
I'm really glad Tushar stuck with it, even if it was slow at first. I'm really enjoying it.
anybody hope mess uniforms
I hope those uniforms don't mess anything up if anybody is superstitious.
coming crossed life mind state
I never in my life thought I'd end up in the state of Minnesota. It never crossed my mind coming to Minnesota.
unhappy
I'm unhappy because we just lost. We thought we had it in our hands, but we just didn't execute.
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.
It's crazy. It's like you're on a stage.
