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.
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.

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.

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.
