deserved forget guys people ready upset win
We've got to forget about it and get ready for the NIT. The way I feel, we've got to go out and play and win it to show people we deserved to be in the (NCAA) tournament. The guys are upset now, but come Friday, we'll be ready.
ball deserved focus game whatever
I told E before the game that I was going to look for him as much as possible. He deserved a game for us to focus on him and let him do whatever he wanted to do. We wanted to get him the ball because he deserved his homecoming.
deserved focus game hard plays practices whatever
I told 'E' before the game that I'm going to look to you as much as possible. He's a senior. He deserved for us to just focus on him and let him do whatever he wanted to do. He plays hard and practices hard. We just wanted to get him the ball.
beat committee deserved everybody game hard lay prove selection teammates telling win
What I've been telling my teammates is let's go out and win. If we just go and lay down and get beat the first round, the (NCAA) Selection Committee is going to say, 'I told you. They can't even win a game in the NIT. What makes you think they deserved to be in the (NCAA) Tournament?' So I just told them let's go out and play hard and win it, just to prove everybody wrong.
break confidence wall wrong
I'm speechless. I'm so disappointed in myself. It's just a wall. I've got to find a way to break that wall and come out. My confidence is there, I'm just not playing. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm just not playing.
deep took
When it rimmed out, I took a deep breath. I thought it was going in.
lose mistake mistakes people proving round wrong
We can't lose here, we're not proving people wrong if we can't even get out of the first round of the NIT. How can we say they made a mistake if we couldn't get out of the first round of the NIT?
threw
We didn't come to play, we got what we deserved. We threw it all over the gym. It wasn't one person. I wasn't there mentally.
beat supposed team
We didn't come to play and we got what we deserved. There's no way that team is supposed to beat us by 17 or 18 points. I'm disappointed in myself.
emotional watching win
I got emotional just watching them. I know one day my day is coming, I just wanted to win for them.
answer coach head plays university
I can't really answer that. As of right now, I'm going to see how it plays out and see who is the head coach at the University of Cincinnati.
cincinnati growing
Growing up, Cincinnati was tough, bad, in your face. We're getting it back. Back to the old days.
everybody game knows percent
This whole game is my fault. Everybody knows that if I don't play good, we can't win. This game is 100 percent my fault. I ain't the kind to make excuses. I just didn't come to play.
either overrated
Either they're overrated or we're underrated, one of the two.
