compete hard opponent realize view win wire
That's how each opponent is going to view us now going down the stretch. It's down to the wire for a lot of people, and they need a big win. We've got to realize we need that win just as bad, and we're going to go out and compete as hard as we can.

Nobody expected us to get this far. It hurts now because we think we should've made the Sweet 16, but we accomplished a lot.

This is the most special place on the road for me. In my mind, I know that I've won at Kentucky. It's something that goes on the career resume.

Even when we started to get a double-digit lead, we were still playing a little sloppy, and they were getting some easy buckets. We've got to step up and bring the energy every game if we want to be champions.

Even when we had a double-digit lead, it felt like we were a little sloppy. We weren't playing to the best of our ability and it came back to haunt us. But give Arkansas credit. It was a matter of Arkansas wanting it more.
fortunate happy hard last learned perfect reflection rest seniors success
We've all just learned so much from (Pearl), and we're a reflection of him on the court. He's working just as hard as we are on the sidelines, and we're just very fortunate to have him as well as the rest of his staff. It really has become a perfect fit, and I'm very happy for the seniors that they're able to have this success under him in their last year.

We started to celebrate on the court, and he told us to act like we've been there before. Then we get to the locker room, and he rips his shirt off and buttons are flying everywhere. He just kind of did a Hulk Hogan impression. ... We all laughed and gave him a Gatorade bath.

This will benefit us in the long run in the tournament. We've faced every type of adversity throughout the season. We've been down before and lost leads. Now, we're ready for tournament play.
defense defensive key looks open pace points rebounds sure three ugly unheard
I think we had three defensive rebounds in the first half, which is unheard of. We had (41) points at halftime, so we were on pace offensively. Obviously, though, the whole key was defense and a lot of easy, open looks for them. I'm sure it's going to be ugly on film.
guess position sure
I think we were in a position where we had them where we wanted them. I guess we just didn't execute. I'm not sure really what happened.

We can make this a very special season, or we can almost be looked at as somewhat of a fallout ? a team with a great season, but weren't able to win the big games at the end.
