baseball coach great job keeping played rally team tension
This team is probably the loosest I've played on. Coach does a great job of keeping us loose. We play baseball at practice. He dances, claps, sings, and we all rally around that. There was no tension around the team.
fun loves team
We have fun with it. The team loves it. It's a way to get away from basketball. It's what we do as a team to get closer.
coach imagined kept knew ncaa playing saying sweet team tournament
We knew we were playing a tournament team. Coach was saying, 'That's a Sweet 16 team you just beat.' He kept saying that. I never imagined we would see them in the NCAA tournament, and we would be in the same bracket.

We knew they were a young team and all season they've had a problem with turnovers. We wanted to force those freshmen to make some decisions. That's what we did and that's what got our juices flowing.

We didn't come this far just to settle. Nobody on this team wants to settle for the Elite Eight.

We pride ourselves on our defense; that comes first. We knew they were a young team and have had problems with turnovers. We wanted to force them into making some decisions.

They were kind of going through the motions during warm-ups. It just seemed like they were arrogant. We noticed it. When teams are arrogant, it does something to you inside you can't describe.

This is probably the loosest team I've ever been on. There is no tension whatsoever on this team.
ball calls definitely giving letting mind passing score teams wants
Now he calls for the ball and he definitely wants it, so I don't mind giving it to him. He's going to score all day if teams are letting him, so I don't mind passing it to him. He's done it all year, he's produced.

When I signed, I told coach that my goal was to someday play in the Sweet 16. And for it to finally happen in my senior season is incredible.
far ourselves pinch ready
We're not ready to pinch ourselves yet. We didn't come this far to just settle.
changed college face final history living talk
This was history. We're living it. When you talk about the Final Four, you have to talk about us making the Final Four. We changed the face of college basketball. Unfortunately, it had to come to an end.
We go out there with no worries. That's how we play.
happen knew people professor soon trying walked watch watched
As soon as I walked in, people were clapping. It was like, 'Wow, they really do watch us!' My com professor had a joke: 'Anything big happen this weekend?' Like nothing happened, trying to get a response. I just smiled. I knew he watched the games.
