bunch change coaches favorite great guys matter second seems style team
It was really their program, their style of play. No matter who your favorite team is, it seems like Gonzaga is your second favorite. It's a great program. They have a great bunch of guys and coaches but so do we. I wouldn't change it for the world.
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.
anybody athletes closest compares full great last overall played team
I don't think anybody we played compares overall. Alabama, we just played last week, has a lot of great athletes. That's probably the closest thing to an overall team full of athletes as Memphis.
sink
I mean, it won't really sink in for a while.
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.
blocked changed dribble either left relying shots
They left us relying on our dribble penetration and they either blocked shots or changed a lot of shots.
conscious defensive effort great
After that, we kind of got our focus. We made a conscious effort to be a great defensive team.

No matter what the score is, there's always a chance. Some crazy things can happen, and some crazy things happened today.
bring spirit
They bring a different spirit to the team.
played rivalry terribly
We just played terribly defensively in a rivalry 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.
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.
beautiful goes happier hats matter percent sitting today
It really was because we're sitting today with these hats on, these beautiful T-shirts, all that stuff. It doesn't matter what goes on in the game. Me personally, 1-for-9, 50 percent from the free-throw line. I couldn't be happier right now. I wouldn't have it any other way. That's all that matters.
