I can't consider them a mid-major team. I don't look at them that way. They're a really good team.
It was kind of quiet. I didn't hear nobody. I've never heard Rupp like that.
It's a big part of our game. When the ball gets in, we want to get it out.
The best part is you always have friends around, no matter what. It's either one, two or all three of them. You always have somebody to be with or walk to class with or just hang out and talk.
They had a great run. I'm happy for them. Now it's time to go win a championship.
It would be great for (Donovan), our program and for the University of Florida to win a national championship. Our coaches have worked so hard, and we really want to give them this win.
That's something that our team can't have. We've just got to take care of the ball (tonight). I think it was just trying to make plays that weren't there, maybe forcing things a little bit.
Having him play at this level of confidence is really big for our team.
They challenged our front court. And I think we handled them pretty well.
It's real important. It helps everybody on this team understand their roles and knowing to do what they do best.
He was hurt so bad. That's my guy, and I've really got a lot of love for him. A lot of other guys would have quit, but he didn't quit for us. He was going hard.
Shoot it every time, that's the way I feel about him. Good shot, bad shot, I feel like it's going in with him. ... If he has that confidence, he's going to make them for us.
He went there for an hour and just disappeared.
It's tournament time, man. You've got to shoot it with confidence. You feel me?
