last played team
We're a better team right now, the way we've played the last 10 games.
certainly doubt player players role step takes touches win
He's a big-body guy. He takes up a lot of space, and he's very active. When he touches the ball, he's able to corral it. There's no doubt he contributed in that game. That's the kind of player it takes to win the tournament. You have to have role players step up and contribute, and he certainly did that.
andy atmosphere bob coach excited good miss obviously tend thrive
I'm excited about the opportunity. Obviously (former coach Bob Huggins) isn't there and I'll miss that, but (coach Andy Kennedy) is there and is doing a good job. The atmosphere will be terrific. They don't like us and we tend to thrive on that. It should be fun.
comparable exactly hard league played seven tough win
It's exactly as tough as I thought it would be. To me, it's very comparable to the league we played in for seven years. It's really hard to win on the road. I haven't been surprised.

Defensively we made some nice plays, but at crunch time they stepped up.

If he were fully developed offensively, he wouldn't be coming to college.
basketball becomes best certainly difficult future irrelevant leave miss sorry teammates wise wish
While I am sorry to see Mitch leave and we will certainly miss him, he has made a difficult but wise choice, ... There are times when basketball becomes irrelevant and this is one of those times. I and his teammates wish him the very best in his future endeavors.
cincinnati doubt fans happy
While the team's still happy we're playing, I don't know if our fans are. But there's no doubt that (playing) Cincinnati makes it a little more intriguing.
difficult knew shut
We knew we weren't going to shut them down completely, but we at least wanted to make it more difficult for them with our zone.
