Everything about him is competitive. It seems like he wants the spotlight on him when they're down 15 with 10 minutes left. It seems like he likes that.
couple free minutes physical throws tired tough
I was tired with 3 minutes left. That's about as tough as it gets. That was a physical game. I made those free throws because there were a couple of timeouts there that made it easier. I'm tired.
lie minutes syracuse team thinking within
We can't get bigheaded. We can't just think every team is going to lie down after we get a big victory. We were thinking Syracuse was going to lie down after those first 30 minutes and they actually crawled back to get within two possessions. You can't do that.
coming game looked minutes since three tired toughest tv waited
This was probably the toughest game since I've been back. I was tired with like three minutes left. I kind of looked at him (Calhoun) for a sub and he said we had a TV timeout coming up. So I waited. I waited it out, but I was tired.
few fight five last minutes ncaa needed next offense points seven six solid stick team wants
In the NCAA Tournament, no team is going to go away easy. Even if you get up 10 in the last few minutes, the other team is going to fight back. Everyone wants to get to the next round. I didn't think it was going to be easy, even when we got up seven points with five or six minutes left. We just needed to stick with our offense and play solid defense.

We talked about coming out fast, but when Ivan was taking over, everyone else was off. We have to get everyone going.

We just sat here and thought. Basically a mental thing where we knew we didn't do the job and we didn't do our job defensively or offensively so we just kind of had a moment of silence.

We felt we had better athletes on the perimeter than they did. Coach told me and Hassan to get in there and get nasty on the glass.
against best game heads seems soon
It would be the same if we were No. 4 or No. 24. Connecticut is Connecticut. They're going to want to take our heads off as soon as we get out there. They're going to be aggressive. It may be the best game they have all season. Everyone seems to have their best game against us.
good talented teams tough
These were tough teams, talented teams with good players.
