I told all the guys who left before me that I would get a win in Cameron. Now that it’s over, I can call them up and back my word up.

Our freshmen stepped up big in the final four minutes. I kind of pulled them together and said, ‘This is it, the last four minutes. We haven’t played well the whole game, but we have...

J.J. is a big-time player. He started off hot, but Marcus was able to get through the screens and be there on the catch. I think that’s the biggest thing with J.J., because if you’re...

They’ll be as jacked as anyone can be. We have to be ready to match it.

For the most part, I think my confidence is a lot higher. This year, Coach needs me to score more. Last year, he needed me to be a defensive stopper and rebound, and that was...

He was kind of down on himself [at halftime]. He had his head down.

We’re coming together. Playing hard is key for us and running the fast break is key for us. The rookies are coming in, the newcomers are coming in. We’re doing a good job right now....

I’m just going to tell the guys that it’s put-up or shut-up now.

This is not as gratifying as it can be. We’ve got five ACC games left and our fate is in our own hands. We can continue to creep up the standings or we can fall...

Big players show up in big times games. That’s the type of player he’s been all year.

Tyler doesn’t surprise me. He surprised me when he hit that 3-pointer, but other than that he doesn’t surprise me.

Our freshmen stepped up big in the last four minutes. I pulled them together and told them, ‘This is it. We haven’t played well all game, so this four minutes is the last little bit...

The feeling’s just great. It’s only second best to winning the national championship.

This feeling is just great. It’s second-best to the national championship, and it’s something big that I’m going to cherish for the rest of my life.

We’re not defending anything, because they can’t take it away from us. It’s going to be ours, regardless if they win or not.

Playing at home is always great. When you’re at home sweet home, your legs are good, you feel the shot good, everything feels good. We really like that.

I told them in the same words Coach Rob used: no half-stepping. This is a tournament that if you lose, you go home. And that’s something that we really don’t want to happen right now....

We’re a lot better and our freshmen are definitely turning into sophomores. They are doing exactly what they need to do in order to help us win games — and not just games — but...

We’ve taken a slide the last couple of games. We’re trying to get back to where we were at the beginning of the season. We’re trying to get guys having fun, concentrate on doing the...

Actually, we really got lucky a lot. They missed a lot of close shots. We were able to contest some, but we were giving them way too many easy baskets.

We’re going to cry about it, be sad, but it just wasn’t our time.

They’re going in fearless because they have no idea what to expect. They go out and play their game and do exactly what we need them to do.

Their big three did a great job of protecting the ball and handling our pressure. It definitely kind of slowed the game down for us and didn’t get us out in transition like we wanted...

They just know we lost the game. I don’t really know what to tell them. All I’m saying is, just be prepared and ready to play.

That’s a part of my game I’ve been working on the last couple of days in practice. I’ve been trying to drive the ball more and get inside and get closer to the rim and...

We’re not ready to hang it up yet. I think we have six more games left in us.

That definitely helped us out as far as getting closer to the basket and getting some easy buckets.

I told him that we were going to come down here and get us one. But he had a great performance tonight. He got me in foul trouble early, so I couldn’t play him like...

We’re playing defense a lot better. We’re taking pride in guarding the ball. We’re letting everybody realize that we’re a team to be reckoned with. And we’re coming out ready to play.

We feel really lucky, fortunate. That’s the way it has to be in this tournament. You have to catch some blessings every once in a while to get through. We’re just glad we’re still here.

I don’t know. For the most part, we’ve just got to continue doing what we do and doing what we’ve been doing for the last part of this season. We’ve got to continue to grow...

That’s definitely something big for us. It shows that we respect everybody but fear no one.

The first possession definitely set the tone for us for the entire game.

We still feel like this is a big-time game. We’ve been looking forward to this all season.

We’re in Ohio. That’s where we have to play. So that’s where we’re going to play.

I knew my team needed me to step up, and at that time, I was getting some good looks. I just took them, and they went in. For the most part, that was their last...

I kind of jinxed myself.

I can’t. Like, that’s how bad it was. I really can’t even paraphrase it without cussing. He said something about, ‘Something, something, beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep, you beep.’ Seriously, that’s exactly what he said...

They’re a great team so I wouldn’t call [my reaction] stunned. They just made plays and we didn’t.

We had bad communication on the Smith basket.

We just relied on our jumper too much. When you’re shooting that many 3-pointers, you’re not getting to the foul line that much.

This place is definitely upscale now. They have a lot of big time fans, and we knew it was going to be that way when we got here.

At the beginning of the game, it was just me on him. At times, we would double, and our rotation wasn’t the best it should be. Their guards were getting open shots and knocking them...

I wouldn’t even call it a title defense. Nobody can take the title away. I just look at it as a new journey by a new team, and hopefully we can get the same results...

It’s so satisfying to know we could do things some people didn’t think we could. In some ways, Coach Williams is doing a better job with this team than he did last season. I mean,...

Man, he gets ridden more than a cowboy riding his horse.

It was a breakdown. I actually told the whole team that we were going to switch everything, but I guess the communication factor didn’t pull through as well as I thought it was.

(I’m) very stunned, I guess. They came out and executed in the second half and got us to turn the ball over and went on a great run. They’re a great team, so I wouldn’t...

I’m lost for words. I have no idea what’s really going on with this team right now. It’s kind of tough. I really don’t know what to say to these guys. I don’t know. It...

We’ve had an unexpected season. And, for the most part, if we continue to push the way we’re pushing, that’ll definitely help us out. Hopefully, we can be closer to home instead of having to...
