amongst charles example guys honest struggled talk younger
To be honest with you, amongst ourselves, we don't talk about the GPA. That's the coach's thing, and you don't pry into someone else's business. But I know some of the younger guys who've struggled a little bit, and Charles is the example we use for them.
beat expected
We expected to beat Arkansas. I don't think this is too big of an upset.
against best good great obviously playing score team teammates
There's obviously individuals on our team who aren't the best defenders, me being one of them. One-on-one, if I'm playing against somebody, they are going to score on me often. But I have great teammates who play good help-side defense.

We had great recognition at the end of the game. Donald got a rebound, looked for a good free throw shooter and found Abe. We came in expecting to beat Arkansas. I don't think this was too big an upset.

finding good happen job role shoot terms time
(My teammates) do a good job of finding me and getting me open. In terms of when they come, I just shoot them when I'm open. If they happen to come at a time when we need it, then it's just a bonus. If I'm open, I'm going to shoot it, that's my role on the team.
great last people upset year
Last year wasn't as big an upset as people thought it was. But it's been a great ride.
chance fighting gym knowing last leave talking walk year
One thing we've been talking about all year is having no regrets. The seniors, this is our last chance, and we don't want to leave anything to chance and walk out of a gym knowing we could have done this or could have done that. We just keep fighting and keep getting better.

We were thinking, talking amongst ourselves we'd be an 11-seed, maybe a 10. It's just a great sign of respect and we're really happy to be seeded that high in the tournament.

We all buy into it. We all realize that gives us our best opportunity to win.

We came here for a two-game tournament. That's the mind-set we took. I don't think it's too big of an upset.

You think you see something there for a second, make a pass and there will be three (Memphis) guys there.
