He does all the little things -- taking charges and defending guys. He's very good and he improved throughout the year. You can just see it in his confidence and swagger on the floor. He knows what makes him a good player.
That's the only team that's really beaten us this year.
It wasn't just me. It was a lot of guys. ...I knew once I relaxed, he would hit three or and get a dunk and it would ignite the whole (Memphis) team. That'd be disastrous.
I saw him lying there in tears and I just felt for him. He has no reason to cry. He's a great player and he's going to have a great career.
I have to credit my coaches for that one. We watched plenty of film on (Carney) as a team. Whenever I face a guy who's the other team's top scorer, I'm always well-prepared.
I knew all along this team could be at the top and remain at the top, because we definitely have the personnel. If we put our mind to it, play 'D' and do all the right things, play for each other, we shouldn't lose.
We've lost three games at home this year. To make up for that, we have to win on the road. We know what this trip means.
What was tough for (Belmont) is that we generally don't let up. Our defensive pressure started to take a toll, and we fought for every bucket.
Yeah, we did hear those comments. That's just his personality. I'm sure he didn't mean anything malicious by it. I'm sure he was just trying to fire up his team.
We don't see ourselves as the favorite. The teams that made it to the Final Four are all good teams, just like us.
We're a pretty dominant defensive team right now.
We're a pretty dominant defensive team right now. It's not just one guy. It's a total team effort on defense.
We knew if we played at that pace, we weren't going to win. We're a pretty dominant defensive team right now.
We're not playing for just our team, our university. We're trying to carry on something that John Wooden started.
