I knew I wasn't going to come in here and get 20 rebounds. Boxing out a guy like him is really a tough job.
They're the type of team where you have to make the extra pass. We took good shots.
I feel like our guys just figured it out. They figured out that they had to go after loose balls and finish out possessions.
Oh man, I was so tired of all the Cinderella talk. The bottom line was we had to come out and win this game.
Everyone's showing us a lot of love. Everyone is pretty excited about what's going on right now.
The bottom line is we didn't execute, and we didn't get stops at the end. That's why we lost the game.
Maybe we don't look like we're tough guys, but the bottom line is we get the job done. I know, Villanova was tough. They were city kids. But we're going to play our game no matter who the other team has.
I hate this feeling. We just have to move on from it.
Guys are sagging so much in the lane, especially this team. They want you to shoot three's. You can't leave a guy like Lee Humphrey wide open like that and try to sag off, and we made them pay tonight.
I think at the beginning of the season, he was playing too much to the crowd, especially on the road. We talked to him about controlling his emotions and told him to show his emotions to us, instead of the fans.
Chances are great we'll all be back next year. We love it here.
Beating Kentucky is very exciting for us, especially at Rupp Arena. We just wanted to come out and win. It's big for our program.
I can use my charms to raise money for a good cause. I just have to show up.
The offense would have been geared toward them if they stayed. Maybe we could have still made this run, but it wouldn't have been the same team.
