Ryan Hollins is coming to the realization that this is it. All seniors seem to come to that realization about this point in the year.
Florida was terrific. Credit Billy Donovan. They were really well coached. They did an excellent job handling our pressure.
Florida has a great offensive team. It really is going to be a big challenge for us to be able to try to defend such skilled players and good passers. Everybody can shoot it.
Five should be average; four is a disappointment.
They took it to us physically. They beat us on the glass. We seemed to be a step slow.
They take great pride in representing. But they have more pride than anything in playing for each other.
They take a punch and keep on going with it. It's just a testament to their toughness and their character, and to the different guys on the team that get a chance to step up.
Although we won by 12, the score was not indicative that we were pretty much in control the last 16, 17 minutes. It was fun.
They played really, really hard. I have confidence in our guys one through 10.
The repair to Alfred's left knee is less severe than his right, so the rehabilitation time will be less. This will be a quicker healing process. It's all good news, much better than expected.
This is what they've worked so hard for, to get a chance to continue to play. We've got our work really cut out for us in playing one of the top teams in the country in Gonzaga.
This is an incredible defensive team. It's why we are where we are.
This is his second broken nose of the year. He's got two broken noses and a broken leg going right now. Hopefully, he can stay healthy here the rest of the way.
