Kevin Bettencourt Good Quotations

(My teammates) do a good job of finding me and getting me open. In terms of when they come, I just shoot them when I'm open. If they happen to come at a time when we need it, then it's just a bonus. If I'm open, I'm going to shoot it, that's my role on the team.

We had great recognition at the end of the game. Donald got a rebound, looked for a good free throw shooter and found Abe. We came in expecting to beat Arkansas. I don't think this was too big an upset.

There's obviously individuals on our team who aren't the best defenders, me being one of them. One-on-one, if I'm playing against somebody, they are going to score on me often. But I have great teammates who play good help-side defense.

It's definitely a style that they're good at. We haven't seen that type of speed in a while. They throw so many guys at you.

That's as good a job as somebody's done guarding the three against us all year. They're so long and athletic. And the pressure, they get you going so fast. Even when you do get a second to get a shot up, maybe you're rushing a little bit here and there.

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.

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.
