That would make it that much easier for us to advance to the next round. It would be like home-court advantage for us. So we need to try to win out and do the best...

I think all of us have competed for a championship at least once in our lives. So all of us know how to deal with it. It’s kind of like we have a test. You...

George Mason is just another team that wants to win as badly as we do. They deserve the Final Four. If we come in with the wrong mind-set, we won’t be playing very long.

The best part is nobody is jealous. Because if we keep winning, the attention goes to all of us, anyway.

We want to win the championship.

We don’t get caught up in all that (favorite) stuff. It’s just a lot of talk. We came in (to the season) as a team that might not make it to the NIT and now...

It’s just regular length. If I had to, I’d wear them. But I don’t think we need the short shorts.

The last time I did something like that was in high school.

You’re still talking about it. We’re ecstatic [about this win].

It’s great being here, but I don’t think it’s good enough. We won’t be happy unless we win the whole thing.

Our four big guys can run with guards. And we all know it, so when we go on a fast break, it’s like a track meet with us running side by side down court.

If we rally together and play the way we’re capable of playing, we can maybe win the whole SEC.

I never in my life thought I’d end up in the state of Minnesota. It never crossed my mind coming to Minnesota.

Nobody can run with our big guys.

My knee wasn’t that bad the second half of last season. It was a factor, but it wasn’t as much of a factor as you would think. It was more of a mind thing.

You make contact first and it’s a lot easier to defend him. I kind of knocked him off balance. We did a pretty good job on him.

It was crazy to lose to them twice. I never lost to them until this year. Twice in one year, we felt like that was pretty bad.

We don’t have anybody on this team who believes they’re the superstar. We feel like we’re all equals.

It’s human nature. They try to protect themselves from being embarrassed.

I’ve never seen Corey shoot like this, never in my life not even in a pickup game. Corey was feeling it today, he was hot. He played great.
