Scott Sanderson Quotations

We respect (Belmont). They try to do it the right way like we do. Both programs are on the rise and getting to play each other will be an absolute classic.

We guarded for 40 minutes, we'll I should say 37 minutes. We were very, very good defensively the entire game. They hurt us a lot on penetration the last time we played them. I told our guys, 'Don't rest on me on the floor. Rest over on the sideline and I'll sub you in and out.' We subbed and kept them fresh. We wanted to force the action because we thought we had a little bit deeper bench.

I think we have a couple of levels more that we can get to. I though our best offense was our defense. We created a lot of shots in transition.

You just have to study those films a lot and find out what worked and what didn't work. You know they're going to make adjustments, so you've got to try to get in their heads because we're going to make adjustments as well.

We practiced on Monday, but we didn't practice very long because I think it's important that we have fresh legs because this game, going over there, is going to be so emotional.

It will be exciting. With us being fortunate enough to be here, and Belmont being fortunate enough to be here, I think we should get in the car and drive home and play in Nashville. Lets play in Allen Arena. We were the No. 1 seed.
