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.
team tension whatsoever
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.
inside motions noticed seemed teams
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.

Tony knew we had his back. We told him to forget about it. New game, five minutes left.

I've played football in a gym but I've never played basketball in a football stadium.

anyone blur emotions hear memories mind mute notice people road running saying thinking word
The whole world kind of went mute for me. I didn't hear anything, didn't see anything, didn't notice anything. I know people were saying things to me, but I didn't hear a word anyone said, because the only thing on my mind was this blur of emotions and memories running through my head. I was thinking about where the road started for me and some of the guys. Man, we've been through a lot, and now it's all over.
dream joy pure
Pure joy. Indescribable joy. It's just overwhelming. It's like a dream come true.
