Nobody probably thought they could beat Michigan State and North Carolina back-to-back. They played with a great purpose and a great passion. (Coming in) I was scared to death, to be honest with you. In saying all that, I still thought we were going to win the game.
That was a fun basketball game. If you didn't care who won, you had to enjoy that. The problem is we care deeply whether you win or lose. But I'm really proud of my team.
It's a weird-looking stat sheet and how you can win with 25 turnovers. But I loved our guys' poise after the first four minutes of the second half. The first four minutes of the second half were about as miserable as it can possibly be.
We talked about this (entering the draft) as early as January and Rashad was able to maintain his focus throughout the season. I think he will be remembered as a player who helped us win a national championship and as a nice young man.
You can't do that in college basketball and consistently win games. I don't like it.
