I think it must be his hair. You know, the ponytail.

If we get complacent with where we are now we could easily lose (to George Mason). It’s not good enough now. We want to win the whole thing.

I think that starts in our scrimmages where everybody is talking trash and challenging each other. During games, once we get a defensive stop it kind of leads to a fast break, and a fast...

All of us knew what he was capable of when he first got here. He just is going out and playing ball. He’s just getting opportunities and he’s taking advantage of it.

They just wanted us all to play a role; I don’t think the coach wanted any of us to dominate. Mohamed and I were counted on to rebound, Lee to shoot threes and Ryan to...

I don’t think anybody’s ready to leave yet. Everybody loves each other and we want to come back and try to repeat. We’ve proven that we’re the best team in the country and we’ll be...

We just didn’t execute down the stretch like we needed to. Same exact thing happened twice. We didn’t play as good as we can and we didn’t execute at the end of the game.

Everybody wanted to see us lose. We just had to make the Cinderella story a different outcome than all the ones in the movies.

I think it’s kind of expected out of me to contribute. I haven’t been doing that as much as I should be doing the past couple of games.

We don’t really get caught up in that kind of stuff. That’s a lot of talk.

That’s the guy that talked all that crap about us in the Alligator before. That’s him right here.

That’s just how it is; that’s how people are, how they think. If we go out and lose in the first round (in the NCAA Tournament), everybody will say, ‘I told you so.’ If we...

Personally, I think we’ll be pretty good. I think we’re a defensive, stopping team, I think we’ll score more points than a lot of people think that we will, but I mean I think we’ll...

If Peyton saw how Lee shot the ball, he’d have to be proud of him. I don’t know as far as (Manning) it being an inspiration or anything but Lee played great, one of the...

We were just a little more hungry that Kentucky. We wanted this one for so many reasons.

I don’t really care who we play. We just want to win. If everybody wants to think [beating lower-seeded teams is] the way we got to where we are, let them think that.

I don’t have to pinch myself. I knew we were going to have a good team from the beginning. It was only a surprise for you all. We knew about this last summer when we...

I can’t say I’m surprised. We’ve been playing together a while and impressed a lot of people in the summer. I’m not going to pinch myself. You know, I’m not cocky, but I knew we...

I’m unhappy because we just lost. We thought we had it in our hands, but we just didn’t execute.

It’s hard to believe we’re here in the state of Minnesota. I never thought I’d go to Minnesota for any reason. But here we are, and we’re excited to be here. I’m glad I don’t...
