I'm sure they're going to come after us, just like we did last year.

I don't think any of us ever dreamed of being nationally ranked or getting some of the attention we've gotten. We just keep fighting and it keeps getting better. Hopefully we continue it, but we've still got a long way to go.

The first half was tough. There were so many fouls called, it was tough to get into a rhythm. Obviously it's good to go into halftime ahead. Charles made a great play. He drove and I just found an open spot and knocked it down. It gave us good momentum.

We expected to beat Arkansas. I don't think this is too big of an upset.

I turned to Abe with about 16 minutes left, when we were down by about 15, and I said, we can still win this game. He looked in my eyes, and you could just tell he believed it. We believed it, we all believed it. We've been in those positions before.

They don't even talk about basketball. It's telling you straight out: Obviously, you have to make time for basketball. But academics come first. You have to take care of business in the classroom to even have a chance to play. If you don't succeed in the classroom, you aren't getting on the court.

One thing we've been talking about all year is having no regrets. The seniors, this is our last chance, and we don't want to leave anything to chance and walk out of a gym knowing we could have done this or could have done that. We just keep fighting and keep getting better.

I don't think there's any team that necessarily scares us. But you don't really want to play them either. But that's part of the tournament. You play only good teams. We'll be ready if we get there, but we have a long way to go.

Each one of us wanted it really bad. We all wanted it really bad and we told each other, 'let's keep each other in check and look out for each other,' we always we do that.
