act buttons celebrate flying gave hulk laughed locker shirt
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.

adversity benefit faced lost ready run throughout tournament type
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.
board coach defense dug hole ourselves puts
We just dug ourselves too big a hole in the first half. Coach (Pearl) puts defense and rebounding on the board before every game, and we haven't been able to do that consistently.
capable deep excited game next realize scouting team
You get excited when you see the No. 2 next to your name. But when you realize what a capable team Winthrop is, when we look deep into the scouting report, you realize that no game is going to be easy.
beat both mean regular season team twice
Both games, they were right there with us. Just because you beat a team twice during the regular season doesn't mean they're the same team.

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.

I still feel I have something to prove. I just want to continue to take advantage of the opportunities I have.
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.

I was pretty sure I knew where Chris was going.
almost fallout games great looked somewhat special team win
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.
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'll come in for timeouts, and he'll say, 'Let's try this,' and it will work.
