Robert Vaden Quotations

I thought we were about a No. 7 or a No. 8. But a No. 6 is a good seed for us. We are going to Utah, and it looks like we got a good draw.

I think of myself as a player that needs to come through in tough moments. If nobody wants to have the ball in their hands, then I'll go get it. That's the way I think and play. I am more than willing to step up and make a play.

I think he's similar to (Daniel) Horton, from Michigan. He plays like him. I know he's going to take a lot of tough shots. You've got to be there to contest, don't give him any open looks. He's a scorer, and a big-time player in his conference. We have to go out there and try to contain him.

It should have helped us get guys some open shots. We missed some open shots, and our confidence went down.

We felt like we were back as a team like we were at the beginning of the year. We made the extra pass, we got a lot more physical, we played team defense, got some great stops, made some big shots.

I've got a size shoe bigger on my left foot than the right. I've got a 16 on the left, and a 15 on the right.

I went up and got it. I don't know how. It was pretty high, like a 40-inch vertical or something like that. But I went and got it and they left me open. I just jumped up and knocked it down.

I feel like we could have played harder than what we did. We cut the lead down and we made it a game. But we could have fought harder and maybe got a win. We just didn't bear down in the first half.

I feel like this a lot after games. Sometimes we win games and we haven't done everything we need to do. That can be a good thing, as long as we reach our full potential.

There's no question you want to win this one more than the others.
