I can't do the things those guys did, so I try to excel at what I'm good at. I try to have good hands, get rebounds and score around the basket. I want to be like those players, but I also want to be my own player.
I don't think we've ever encountered a team where both big guys can push the ball.
We celebrated in the locker room, but we came off the court with poise.
We're not satisfied at all. We came here to win. We're not just satisfied at getting to the Sweet 16 or being in the tournament. We're here to win.
We knew we could compete with anybody if we played hard and ran our offense, that's the most important part. We're making a lot of back-door cuts.
We came in knowing they're an hour away from this campus. We knew they'd have a large fan base. But we've played in conditions where the crowd is against us. We came together.
We came in here knowing this was almost a home game for them. We've played in atmospheres where the whole crowd's against us. The seniors led us and we followed right behind them.
We came here to win, not to participate. It's a fight every night in the Big East. We play against Top 25 teams every other week, so we came prepared for this tournament.
That's what's great about our offense. When our guards start hitting shots, that really opens up the middle for me. ... And when I got it down there tonight, I finished it.
It's tick, tick, tick, when we got everything going right. You saw it tonight.
It's poise. We celebrated in that game and got it over with. Now, we know we have work to do.
I'm caught in the middle because since I was a little kid, I wanted to be like those players. But I also was taught to be my own player.
I have to be aggressive all the time, but I've got to make sure I make smart plays. People double- and triple-team me, and I need to look for the open shooter.
I have to be aggressive all the time, but I have to make sure I'm a smart player. I have to make sure I can kick it out to my shooters.
In the Big East, every team comes at me. We'll keep doing what we do and just run the offense and things will come. If they want to stop me from getting the ball, we have great shooters and guys who can get stuff going. The ball doesn't always have to go through my hands.
He's real big and aggressive. It's going to be a nice challenge. He has real good hands, gets a lot of offensive rebounds. I'm going to have to do my part to keep him off the boards.
I feel like every day I have a size mismatch. I try to exploit that mismatch.
The key to winning this game is running our offense.
