beat came close definitely game great played point season team understand
I think we definitely understand how great of a season it's been. But at this point right now, we're so close we wanted it, I know we all did. To say that we're satisfied, I can't. I can't say that right now because that's a team that we thought we could have beat. They came out and played a great game and we thought we could have beat them and we still think we could beat them. But we don't get another chance.
continued dug gets hard minutes ourselves points
We dug ourselves in a hole. We continued to play hard but when you're down 17 points with 10 minutes left, it gets a little tough.
band fight good playing song
Our fight song was playing and our pep band wasn't even here yet. They did a good job, so I can't complain.
carolina coaches earlier everybody home lost michigan north preached pressure state
Our coaches have preached that the whole way through the tournament: Just have fun. There's no pressure on us. In earlier games, we could have lost by 30 to Michigan State and North Carolina and everybody wouldn't have been writing about us, and we would have just went home and this would have been done with. But we don't feel any pressure now that we're here. We can just go out and play.

That was the furthest thing on my mind two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, I was just hoping to get in. I thought of it every day since the day after we got in. When opportunity knocks, open the door. That's what we're trying to do, just walk through the door.

Even our bookstore didn't have the greatest amount. We had a Jai Lewis jersey. I think that might have been it.

We all believed. This is beautiful right now. We're just enjoying it right now.
carrying fun nobody season trophy win
Nobody out here is having more fun than we are, and we wanted to keep it that way. Right now, it hurts. We didn't want this season to end this way. We wanted to be carrying the trophy out of here, but you can't win 'em all.
everybody front people practice practiced
There were probably more people at practice than at our games. I know I've never practiced in front of 10,000 people before. To see everybody is just wild.
anyone basketball bunch college composed gotten guys knows ncaa tournament until watches
Anyone who watches enough college basketball and the NCAA tournament knows that it's never over until it's over. We're just a bunch of composed guys and we didn't buckle under the pressure. That's what's gotten us this far.
beat deadly second
They were deadly out there. We thought we could beat them. We still think we could beat them. You just don't get a second chance.
anybody beauty college compete computers earn floor national polls themselves
That's the beauty of college basketball. Anybody can compete on the floor -- not just in the computers or polls -- and earn themselves a national championship.
