against bit good job maybe rushing second shot three
That's as good a job as somebody's done guarding the three against us all year. They're so long and athletic. And the pressure, they get you going so fast. Even when you do get a second to get a shot up, maybe you're rushing a little bit here and there.
amongst great happy high maybe ourselves respect sign talking
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.
fluke helped last maybe people
I think it just helped us solidify last season, show that maybe wasn't as big a fluke as people thought it was.
last sure
I'm sure they're going to come after us, just like we did last year.
bad check
Each one of us wanted it really bad. We all wanted it really bad and we told each other, 'let's keep each other in check and look out for each other,' we always we do that.
experience great last tremendous win
It was a great win for our program. It was a tremendous experience for us, but it was last year.
definitely good guys seen speed style throw type
It's definitely a style that they're good at. We haven't seen that type of speed in a while. They throw so many guys at you.
definitely shut
It's amazing. It's definitely frustrating because they shut everything down.
dead donald great quiet seemed
It seemed like they (Arkansas) were getting momentum. And then it just went dead quiet after Donald made that great pass.
abe believed looked minutes positions turned win
I turned to Abe with about 16 minutes left, when we were down by about 15, and I said, we can still win this game. He looked in my eyes, and you could just tell he believed it. We believed it, we all believed it. We've been in those positions before.
beat expected
We expected to beat Arkansas. I don't think this is too big of an upset.
best buy gives opportunity realize
We all buy into it. We all realize that gives us our best opportunity to win.
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.
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.
