I wish I could hit the rewind button and go back. I can't do that, of course. But this will make me a better person and a better player. It makes me want to get back next year and win it all.

Now we've got to finish out this season, win the SEC and start thinking about the postseason.
call chance opportunity stage win
You don't get this chance a lot. You don't get this opportunity to play on a stage like this, win one of the immortality trophies. That's what I call it. You win the trophy, you live forever, basically.
affect altered best competitor decision environment feeling final four game great grew guy last leave losing mouth people playing road shared taste team terrible winning
The road to the Final Four was a great experience, and I grew up tremendously experiencing that environment and the people I met. As a team we shared the feeling of being there, and playing that last game was a terrible taste in your mouth that you would never forget. Losing like that in that way is going to affect you, and me being the guy that I am - a competitor - you always want to leave out on top. That altered my decision a lot. Because not only do I want to be the best player, but I also want to win. Being there and not winning was a disappointment, and that made me want to come to back.
basically game loss win
The loss is basically my fault. I didn't play the way I have to play for us to win a game like that. The loss is on me.

I'm just so proud of us, the chemistry that we have. To beat Duke, they're a great team. And that just shows a lot about our team, and what kind of character we have. It feels good, but now it's over. Now it's another task at hand.

I had to catch the ball high (away from the basket). It's hard to do much with the ball when you're that far out.
