We got exposed on defense. Guards were just going right around us, like we weren't even trying. That was frustrating to us.

That showed me frustration right there. He was mad and tired. He was beat. You could see it clearly.

Memphis was a great team that we played the other day. They were probably one of the best offensive teams that we've seen so far. We stopped the ball on them and look what happened.

It was like one of those practices we usually have in the beginning of the year. It was so hard. Everybody was getting physical, everybody was competing.

At the beginning of the season, we didn't know how good we'd be. But as we got closer (as a team), I think we were all saying this team is special. We can make big things happen.

It feels like we're being overlooked. We haven't got the recognition all year.

They didn't know what we could bring to the table, especially on defense. That defensive intensity – I don't think a lot of teams know how strong this team is going to be on defense. . . . I think they were a little bit frustrated and confused.
