blocked changed dribble either left relying shots
They left us relying on our dribble penetration and they either blocked shots or changed a lot of shots.
bad ball good low results value
We don't take a lot of bad shots. We just value the ball and try to take good shots. If that results in low scoring, then we'll take it.
clock emphasis hard neither playing practice shot team toughest
That was the toughest practice of my career. The emphasis was just playing as hard as you could and really defending. That's what we've done. Sometimes we'll play in practice and neither team scores. There will be shot clock violations. We really defend.
balance phenomenal
That was our key, just to keep 'em off balance all game. We did a phenomenal job.
adversity believed besides explain feels guys incredible injuries job locker pay phenomenal room work year
That was our goal, to keep them off-balance all game. We did a phenomenal job of that. I can't even explain how incredible this feels. Besides the guys in the locker room and our supporters, no one believed we could do it. To work our butts off and go through adversity and injuries all year long and have it pay off, it feels incredible.
calm hard
I was tired, exhausted. It wasn't too hard to calm down and go to sleep.
accepted adds final helps knowing national recognized start sweet tradition unless winning
I think our tradition really helps set the bar. Knowing that nothing but winning a national championship is accepted really helps us. We got to the Sweet 16, we got to the Final Four, but we won't be recognized unless we win that national championship. I don't think that adds pressure. I think that helps start the mission.
classic sink time
This really won't sink in for a while. We'll see this time and time again, you know, going back to all the classic tapes. Just to be part of this is something special.
believed reason
We were sold. That's the only reason why we're still alive, because we really believed in it.
guy happiest special
We never got going offensively but they didn't either. I know I didn't do anything special offensively, but I'm the happiest guy on the planet.
alive believe coach coaching defense focus level preaching reason since staff teaching
The only reason we're alive is because we really believe it. Coach Howland has been preaching defense since Day 1 and our level of focus has really risen. We really believe in what the coaching staff is teaching us.
draining good last time took
We'll be fine. It was last night. That's over. Got a good night's rest. ... It wasn't that draining. It was just draining for the time being. It was an exhilarating experience. It just took a lot out of you.
dream
I don't think I could even dream about that.
close early good guys scary seen talent watching year
He's done so much but you guys haven't seen anything yet. I see talent and I told him early in the year that he was going to be so good. I could see just by watching him practice. Some of the things he would do were amazing. The scary part is he doesn't even know how good he is yet. He's not even close to his potential.
