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.
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.
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.
draining good last time took
We'll be fine. It was last night. That's over. Got a good night's rest. ... It wasn't that draining. It was just draining for the time being. It was an exhilarating experience. It just took a lot out of you.
classroom eligible focus majority time toward year
I know at this time of year what's really important - as long as we're eligible and doing what we have to do in the classroom - I can pretty much focus on basketball. The majority of my focus is going toward the game.
played rivalry terribly
We just played terribly defensively in a rivalry game.
bad ball good low results value
We don't take a lot of bad shots. We just value the ball and try to take good shots. If that results in low scoring, then we'll take it.
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.
adversity believed besides explain feels guys incredible injuries job locker pay phenomenal room work year
That was our goal, to keep them off-balance all game. We did a phenomenal job of that. I can't even explain how incredible this feels. Besides the guys in the locker room and our supporters, no one believed we could do it. To work our butts off and go through adversity and injuries all year long and have it pay off, it feels incredible.
collective compared defensive gotten grown says throughout
That says it all. The way we play on the defensive end. If you want to go back to November, it was nonexistent compared to what we do now. We're such a much better team. We're more of a collective unit. We play for each other. We've grown and gotten to know each other throughout the year.
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.
guy happiest special
We never got going offensively but they didn't either. I know I didn't do anything special offensively, but I'm the happiest guy on the planet.
