Cinderella story or not – to me, honestly, I don’t care. Does being (a Cinderella team) help you win basketball games at all? I don’t know.

We’re a young team and sometimes you’ve got to learn through experiences. … The good news is there’s a lot of basketball left. But … there were little things we addressed a while ago, things...

We learned that you have to be hungry. We have to be hungry 100 percent of the game. Otherwise, if we are not going to bring the energy every possession, and that grind mentality every...

We definitely did a better job driving into the paint in the second half. That was something we definitely spoke about in the locker room.

Boss man. He’s the leader of this team. I’m just proud to be his teammate.

It’s definitely more than just winning at Rupp Arena. You have to look at the big picture. The record doesn’t really mean anything to us right now. We’re all about getting a ring and a...

I love him to death. He’s the man over there. His girlfriend is like 30 years old; he goes to the clubs. I remember last time, I just couldn’t hold up to him. He’s a...

I made, like, maybe one or two post moves tonight. I’m not doing anything special offensively. I’m just getting easy buckets in transition.

With what we have been through, all the adversity, this feels good. Now we have to take what we’ve learned from this and take it on the road with us.

Big Baby is a monster. He’s going to get his regardless.

Corey was feeling it. That was huge for us.

I’m very, very, very excited. It’s going to be a war out there. And it’s been something that for us, as Gators, I think that was definitely a game that we wanted. Whether it was...

That was a very good team.

It’s indescribable. This is the best I’ve ever felt in my life. You work so hard for these moments and they’re so worth it. We worked so hard as a team, and so much sweat...

We’re coming back next year to do it again.

We’re a young team and sometimes you have to learn from your experiences. Even when we were winning we saw a lot of areas where we could get better.

All the doubt we had in the beginning of the season, it definitely made us tighter as a unit. We knew how hard we had to work. We had 6 a.m. workouts in the fall...

If we worried about the things you guys (in the media) worry about, our heads would explode. We just play basketball.

I wanted to go home and spend some time with my father. I really remember that, being a little kid and cheering (against him), and my dad being like, ‘What are you doing?

Corey’s the heart of the team. He’s not 100 percent yet. But he’ll be fine.

It feels good being the bad guy.

It’s not what people think. At the end of the day, you’ve got to come out and play.

It’s really exciting getting to play Kentucky on Saturday, and that’s always a game that you circle on the calendar. Everybody knows what this rivalry is all about.

It was a little frustrating, but I think that our staying together was something helpful if we want to do something special. You learn from your experiences and even though I was frustrated in the...

This is great. This is what it’s all about. This experience has just been indescribable.

I can’t wait. These are the reasons we come to play basketball for the University of Florida. We want to be in environments like that. You dream your whole life about playing in front of...

Right now they’re the enemy. I don’t plan on showing them any love before the game.

I remember playing long hours in the gym by [myself] early in the morning. I was doing whatever it takes to get to this moment and this is, as a basketball player, your dream –...

We’re all laughing about it now. Come [tonight], it’s not going to be funny at all.

It was frustrating, but I think our team staying together was something helpful if we want to do something special.

You know what? If I was in the band, I would be doing the same thing. I’m not mad at him.

He’s not the SEC player of the year for no reason. We just tried to contain him. He did get our frontcourt in foul trouble, but we did a pretty good job on him.

We have another chance. It’s all fresh. Now it’s win or go home.

I mean, it’s understandable that it’s the first time he can’t go out there. He can’t do anything about it. But he’s definitely a big influence in my life.

You (fans) have been great all year, but let’s do it in football now.

Big Baby is a monster. He is not the player of the year for nothing.

I think a lot of people would call him that. I’m not the first player to call him a stalker. When I say he’s a stalker, he really takes it seriously, and you can tell....

It’s crazy how hard we worked for this moment. I’m just in a state of shock.

It’s a great feeling but at the same time we realize we’re not done until we win two more games. We’re very happy but we can’t be satisfied.

The guys who start have a lot more confidence in those guys. When you’re a freshman, you have to prove yourself. They have.

We’re not satisfied. If we lose Monday, it will hurt just as much. We have a title to win.

Them being freshmen and never having played in those environments, I’m really proud of those guys. The guys who start the game have a lot more confidence when [the freshmen] are called upon.

A lot of guys who didn’t step up in the last two games, their manhood was questioned and they showed they definitely belong. They did a great job tonight.

People didn’t expect much out of us; that fueled the fire in us.

Survive and advance. That’s what it’s all about this time of year.

I can’t pass this up. This is too good.

We’ve proven we can play with anybody in the country. When we’re playing well, we’re very tough to beat. But we also proved that when we’re not on top of our game, we can also...

The time in between games is the hardest time for me because there’s so many distractions. It’s just really hard to go to sleep because you’re so excited and all you’re thinking about is playing...

He played like a grown man.

It’s safe… it’s fine. We’re the No. 2 team. It was an upset to them; the fans felt like they needed to get on the floor.
