begin practiced
That's our move. I can't even begin to tell you how many times me and Jai practiced that.
horribly practiced practices today week worst year
We practiced horribly this week. We had it coming. We had some of our worst practices of the year this week and we got outplayed today because of it.
beginning builds carried coach coming confidence davis knew paul second shots
Coming into the game, we knew Paul Davis fouled a lot. Coach just told me to take it to him. If we can make shots in the beginning of the game, it builds our confidence up. We just carried that confidence into the second half. We just shot well.
fans felt
It felt like any other practice, other than there were 20,000 fans out there.
everybody next proved year
We proved to everybody we belonged. No one can take that from us. The doubters, they can keep on doubting. We'll try to come back next year and prove it again.
announced seed
We thought we were out. When they announced us as an 11 seed in the D.C. bracket, we were ecstatic.
hats shots
We were getting the shots we wanted. They just weren't going down. Hats off to their defense, but we just couldn't make our shots.
calm
We had to calm down a little bit.
believed believing committee doubting people proving putting
We've been believing that all season. The committee believed it, too, by putting us in the tournament. If people keep doubting us, we keep proving them wrong.
break fast letting quickly
The big thing we're working on is converting quickly to defense. Not letting them get that fast break going.
anyone belong doubts says
This says we belong, we belong in this tournament. There are no doubts that we can play with anyone in the country.
barack obama objects required run wear
We all know by now that Barack Obama is not a patriot. After all, he doesn't always wear a flag pin, and he objects to the idea that he should be required to in order to run for office.
fear great picked size win
They're a great team. They were picked to win the tournament. But we didn't fear them. They've got size over us, but we've got big hearts.
lightly people respect took year
At first, people probably took us lightly because we're a mid-major. People don't respect us enough to take us seriously. We'd probably have to get back here year after year to get that respect.
