We have everything going for us this weekend. We're not intimidated by them and all that magic stuff. I wouldn't want to play anybody else right now. Just get that over with.
We really understand that in order to win, we have to play together and play team ball. I think everybody's OK with that.
You always dreamed about getting to this point. It is big in my mind. I'm pretty excited about it.
We just have to move on. You want to win every game, and we wanted to win here, but unfortunately things didn't go our way tonight.
We're playing our best basketball all year and we're a really tough team. You can't stop us.
We're playing with a lot of confidence right now.
We are going to the Final Four. Oh man, it's an awesome feeling. I don't have words to explain it.
We made up our mind that we had to start going after loose balls and finish out possessions.
We lost most of our scoring (from a year ago). But we knew we were going to come out here and make this run.
We're here to win it. This is just the first step to get there.
We're going to get together and talk about things, but I really like being here and I enjoy playing under coach (Billy) Donovan. As far as I'm concerned, I would definitely like to be back here next year.
We're so anxious for the game to get here.
We're just going to keep doing what we've been doing all year. It's the same routine. We don't really have to change anything.
With those guys, if we don't block them out, they are going to dunk on our heads. Our goal was to keep them off the glass.
