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.

Coach Howland was the first player ever to recruit me. My sophomore year when he was still at Pitt, I remember him being in the office at my school and saying one day he would...

That was kind of sexy, right?

He’s a monster. He’s not the SEC Player of the Year for no reason.

Those things go by so fast, you don’t really think about it. It’s more instinct, you know? I mean, the shot goes up, you are trying to get position and then it comes up short...

We’re going shine all day, all night. Please don’t be mad at us if we don’t do a little homework the next couple of weeks.

It’s a different animal. You just have to play with focus and we’ll be fine.

It’s pretty exciting to play Kentucky on Saturday, that’s always a date you circle on the calendar. It’s going to be a really exciting environment. I’m looking forward to it.

It hurts, man. All losses hurt.

It’s great to have him here. Even though my parents are divorced, he’s always been there for me.

Are you guys ready to party for a couple weeks? . . . We’re going to be downtown, midtown, everywhere, and all y’all better be there.

We have a lot to learn from those two losses. We just have to keep playing hard no matter who we play.

We allowed way too many offensive rebounds. We’re a young team and sometimes you have to learn through experience.

I’m not doing anything special. I’m just getting easy baskets in transition.

It was a little frustrating. But we stayed together, and that’s what we have to do if we want to do something special. Even though we were frustrated in the first half, we definitely did...

Some people doubted us, and that made us a tighter group. We knew how good we could be. We worked really hard. We pushed each other.

I wanted him to bang it. I wanted him to show Rupp Arena what it’s all about. Show them that Corey Brewer’s got a little bounce.

It’s been a lot of hard work. The best thing to this point with our team is we never looked ahead and we never looked back either. We’ve taken every task at hand for what...
