(Syracuse) gave us a lot of open looks. When you give good players open looks, it's hard not to miss.
You can't take anything away from Arizona. They are a great team. They kind of remind me of us. They fight and don't give up.
You can't take nothing away from Florida. Every shot was contested. There were very few open looks.
That's one thing Coach stressed early in the season, that if we're going to play four guards, we better rebound.
It was fun for us. For Louisville to be hitting 3s like that, it wasn't that fun. For us to be hitting it, it felt pretty good. Coming down on the other end and giving it up was kind of a bad feeling right there.

They matched everything we did. We made a run. They came out and stopped it. If we missed a wide-open shot, they came down to score. The transition, they got the stops when they needed to, and they grabbed the big rebounds at the times that they did.
I'm really just moving on. I've got this season to worry about now.
Definitely, we all talked about it. We knew how they came in here and beat us pretty heavily last year. We didn't want to let that happen again, so we just came out with a great mindset, great intensity and really focused on our game plan.
The last two years, Coach Wright's been real in depth with what he wants us to do. He definitely defined everyone's roles on the team. He basically just bases the offense on guys doing what they do best.
I think we fed off our defense a little more in the second half, and we got into a flow offensively as a result.
It got to a point where coach didn't want me and Randy to guard each other any more. He had to move us on to different guys. It's just so intense, the guards going at each other in practice. It's just brutal.
He was just real angry, telling me I've got to take more shots when I'm open because I might not get them later in the game.
Noah is an animal. That dude has some energy.
