controlled defense great green guard guys inside players point room supposed tempo
They have two great players down low, but the guys around them can also play. Brewer is great. Green controlled the tempo and did what a point guard is supposed to do. Humphrey stretches the defense so far. You can't get off him to help. So, those guys on the inside have a lot of room to work.
classic sink time
This really won't sink in for a while. We'll see this time and time again, you know, going back to all the classic tapes. Just to be part of this is something special.
bad care good matter side winning
We don't care how it looks. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad as long as we're on the winning side at the end.
care free individual shot throws
We don't care about individual accolades. I shot 1-for-9 and made 50% of my free throws and I couldn't be happier.
dream
I don't think I could even dream about that.
beautiful goes hats matter sitting today
We're sitting here today with these hats on, these beautiful T-shirts, all that stuff. It doesn't matter what goes on in the game.
ball best interest matter people push score selling takes win winning worried
We just do what it takes to win and we're smart. If it's in our best interest to push the ball up the floor, that's what we do. We're not worried about selling tickets. When you're winning games, people come -- no matter what the score is.
beat order rebound spend time
We spend most of our time on defense. It started from day one. ... We're always going to be physical. We have to be because in order to beat a team, you have to rebound, and to rebound you have to be physical.
played rivalry terribly
We just played terribly defensively in a rivalry game.
classic seen special time
We've seen it time and time again, going all the way back to the classic tapes. You want to be a part of something special like this.
calm hard
I was tired, exhausted. It wasn't too hard to calm down and go to sleep.
accepted adds final helps knowing national recognized start sweet tradition unless winning
I think our tradition really helps set the bar. Knowing that nothing but winning a national championship is accepted really helps us. We got to the Sweet 16, we got to the Final Four, but we won't be recognized unless we win that national championship. I don't think that adds pressure. I think that helps start the mission.
clock emphasis hard neither playing practice shot team toughest
That was the toughest practice of my career. The emphasis was just playing as hard as you could and really defending. That's what we've done. Sometimes we'll play in practice and neither team scores. There will be shot clock violations. We really defend.
balance phenomenal
That was our key, just to keep 'em off balance all game. We did a phenomenal job.
