We told our kids that anything's possible. I'd be lying to you if I looked you in the eye and said we were going to come out here and beat Purdue. That's a great basketball team we just played.
It gives the team a lot of momentum. Guys are just playing with confidence day in and day out.
We had a great team this year. A lot of people talked about us being good next year, but we thought we could make a run deep in the tournament this year, so it's tough to take.
We have a bunch of guys on this team who want to be here and everybody has confidence in each other. It's not like we're going out every game hoping that we can win. I think we're going into every game now with the confidence pretty much knowing that we can win.
Incredible. It was really tough to lose this one. The fans went above and beyond and were really motivated to help us. Our team is still part of New Orleans. We've still got New Orleans on our jerseys.
Hopefully I'll be part of the team when it's announced. That's one of the best honors you can have to play for your country.
Hopefully I'll be part of the team when it's announced.
I always tell D-West, 'We're the leaders on the team, and if we go down, we've got to go down shooting.'
For me, it's all about who you are. Some athletes may feel a responsibility. Some may not. One thing I've talked with my family and team about is doing more. Trying to make an impact.
