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.
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.
guys
The thing about our guys is they don't need the money.
came caught final might stuff team
We don't get caught up in all that (favorite) stuff. It's just a lot of talk. We came in (to the season) as a team that might not make it to the NIT and now we're in the Final Four, so all that stuff is irrelevant.
