We have to learn from this, and we have to keep looking forward, not backward.

It would be a really good birthday present to beat them and get to the finals.

We believed we could do it, and that’s all it takes.

This was a great experience and we would have liked the season to keep going. Next year will be different.

I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight. I don’t even know what to say. I’m just so happy.

It was just the same nightmare all over again.

It speaks a lot for our players that we kept our composure and didn’t fold. In the past we would have folded and laid down and let them walk all over us.

It’s really not just another game. If we don’t get fired up about this, you can’t even call us a team.

We would love to see all of you out at the game. It gives us a huge boost.

We have to be on our ‘A’ game. If we play hard on every possession, we can play with them.

It was like everything stopped. It was like there was nothing going on around me. I could hear crickets, like in a movie or something.

It was very stressful. I am not going to lie. I almost had a heart attack. But even if we had lost, it would have been a great learning situation for our team and one...

It was definitely a lot of pressure and I was shaking so much. It was probably the most pressure situation I’ve been in. I’m just thankful I knocked them down.

Every day, we go out and earn respect, and we have a lot of respect to earn. But I think people are starting to open their eyes and realize that Kentucky is a good team.

It’s huge. When we have all of the students behind us, it gives us more confidence and support.

They were giving it to me, and I was taking it. It’s probably one of the best feelings when you can come off the bench and knock down a couple of shots.
