I can't even put it into words right now. It seems like it's all like a dream right now. The way things were going for us, it was like this season's a wrap. It's over. And we just dug ourselves out of it, hung together. Now, we're going to get our name called (today). I can't believe it.
start stay sure work
We work and work and work at it. Eventually, it will start going our way. You can't just not take shots. There's no way we'll win. We'll stay with it, and I'm pretty sure it will start going down for us.

It's our Super Bowl. Love it, love it. It's one thing if you're playing a couple mediocre teams, but when these big games come around, you definitely got to get up for them. You got Vitale in the building. It don't get no bigger than that.
finishing good great job stop worrying
I told him to stop worrying so much about being a jump-shooter and to be a slasher. Use mid-range and get to the rim. He does a great job of getting to the basket. He does a good job of getting to the rim and finishing with the big guys.
ahead beginning easy gave meant paid road tournament week
I told you all at the beginning of the week that we had a long road ahead of us. I really meant that. It wasn't going to be easy to get to the (NCAA) tournament with everything we were going through. We've got so much heart; we never gave up. It paid off for us in the right way.
ball nowhere passing somebody steal
They're so long. Everybody's 6-(foot)-5 and up. They have long arms, and they're in the passing lane. You get the ball and get trapped, and somebody comes out of nowhere to steal the ball. It's tough.

It's nice to have something to build off of and get ready for next year. Knowing what we did at the end of the season takes some momentum into next year.
adam cage class great player plays saying though
They've got a great player in Adam Morrison. Even though he has no class whatsoever. He made big plays for them down the stretch. But he has no class whatsoever. He's such a great player, you would think he'd have some class and be the great player that he is. The things he was saying to (Justin) Cage and me were just ridiculous.
changed definitely effort intensity people playing
A lot of people would have said that. The thing that's changed is we're playing so much harder. Our intensity and effort is unbelievable right now, because we know how much is on the line. We definitely don't want to go home.

We're so used to going in there and being rowdy and feeling good after wins. But we're starting to get used to performing well on the road. We're starting to grow up. It's nice to see. We were still happy about the win, because it's a huge win. We have to refocus and get ready for the next big game.

I remember talking at the beginning of the week about having a long road ahead of us. Now we have to get over the last hurdle.

He still plays a huge role on this squad. Everyone looks to him and can see how the game could be easily taken away, so don't take it for granted. He's such a leader and we're so glad that he came along with us.
brian brings everybody guy level losing scrap step
We can't play like (we did), especially when you're losing a guy like Brian who brings so much to the table. You really have to scrap and claw for everything. Everybody had to step up and play a whole different level of energy, and we just didn't have it.

We're growing up. We're not going into the locker room all rowdy. It's like, we've got to move forward to the next game.
