battle game guys percent realize starting
Every game is going to be a battle and you have to play 100 percent every time. I think the young guys are starting to realize that.
bad feeding feeling great guys home hope job lose lost pride type understanding
We know the feeling of having lost at home. That's the type of pride Dee and I try to take into every game. The other guys have done a great job feeding off of us and kind of understanding it. It's a bad feeling to lose at home, and we hope they never have to.
coach excited guys people taking
Coach has been on us. But the guys have been taking it pretty good. When you're winning, you kind of get cocky. You're like, 'Let's keep doing what we're doing.' Now people are more excited to learn. A lot of people are listening.
focused job
We focused on him a lot, but we're going to have to do a better job than that from here on out.
maybe progress shows statement team
This shows we're making progress. This is one of the first times we put a team away. Maybe Oregon. But we really made a statement that we want to get better. And we are.
careers lose means ready
We lose one more game, we're going home, and that means Dee and I, our careers are over. We have to come ready to play as a team.
final last special
Last year, there was a little more pressure. We're more of an underdog. We want to be special and get back to the Final Four.
fun
It doesn't feel good. It was a fun ride, but right now it doesn't feel that good.
bad gives home lost motivation players team
Some of the players on our team have never lost at home. Dee (Brown) and I have only lost once, and that was a pretty bad feeling. It gives us motivation to win.
bit led sucked
I think we just sucked it up a little bit and one thing led to another.
everybody fed knew led looked scoreboard step
I think we just looked at the scoreboard and knew we had to step it up a little bit. One thing led to another, and everybody kind of fed off of one another.
game played
I think we played harder. That's why we were able to get back into it. But we had more game to play. We had to keep playing.
best care confidence offensive took
That was probably one of the best offensive exhibitions I've ever seen. Like he said, we had confidence in him and he took care of business.
deal team
I will not be (strutting around) about it. It is no big deal as long as our team wins.
