Now I come down here and I see how much people care and how much our fans are into the ACC Tournament. I can't wait to get there. I just thought it's a tournament before the NCAA. It's a big-time deal.
I can't wait. People have been asking me in class, and teachers have been talking to me: 'Are you nervous?' I'm excited. I can't wait. I think Saturday is going to be the longest day of my life.
People say that. But I think we go in there, we know that it's supposed to be a hostile environment. We just say, 'Hey, let's go in there and do it. No one really expects us to do it, so let's prove people wrong.' We've done that throughout the year.
We had expectations of making it farther than people thought we ever could have made it. We even said we could win the whole thing -- that's how good we were playing. It just wasn't in the cards.
