Fans will see intense basketball and competitive games. It will be a great prelude to what will happen in the national tournament.
The staff really worked hard at trying to get (players) to forget about what happened Saturday. The seniors then did the rest.
We know how difficult the first eight (games) were in this league. Now the tension, the pressure, the battles that are going to happen in the next eight probably are going to intensify.
Those things happen every year. This year is not going to be any different.
A lot of times, those upsets happen when you don't have a veteran team. We've got to hope that experience helps us.
This is a great start. They (players) have earned it. But there is a lot that can happen in February. We've got to make sure we stay healthy and keep getting better.
They've earned it. They worked awfully hard. But there's a lot that can happen in February.
I don't think it's ever a good thing when coaches or players get booed from the home crowd, that's never something that is positive. As far as me getting cheers, that's happened for a long time there...that's my alma mater, that's where I played, I won a national championship there.
