We're playing our best basketball all year and we're a really tough team. You can't stop us.
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.
We're here to win it. This is just the first step to get there.
It's all about confidence, and confidence comes from trusting your teammates. What's great about our team is we never know who's going to step up.
It's a great story, but we'd be a lot happier if it's a story that ended now.
Chances are great we'll all be back next year. We love it here.
(The guards) make the other team take tough shots, make it hard on the 3-point line. They have just done a great job guarding (against 3-pointers).
You could just see it in their face. When we see they're tired - we're in great shape, so we aren't going to get tired. That's when we go in for the kill.
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.
It's all about team chemistry. We're doing it as a group.
After Matt and David and Peep left, we decided we were always going to have to stick together. It was going to be about us, it was about the team, it wasn't about one unique player.
If they (sag) off Lee, it's over. I'm passing it out to him, and he's knocking it down.
That's a big part of our game, is blocking shots. That's the way we play, and if somebody gets it in there, we're going to try to get it out.
