Robert Hite Quotations

We knew they were capable shooters. It was just a matter of us not getting out and contesting the shots. They made shots and we didn't get stops when we needed to.

We knew they were capable of shooting, it was just a matter of us getting out and contesting shots. They made shots we just didn't get out. Our defensive intensity wasn't the same as it was in the first half. We were very active in the first half, getting our hands on balls. We didn't do that in the second half.

I didn't want it to end. I didn't want to go out today. I want to keep playing. I just wanted to come out here, give a good effort, and help my team come away with a win.

He look real bad in the morning. I thought he wasn't going to play. But he's a tough dude and he's not going to let that stop him.

We took (the momentum) and ran with it.

We're on a roll right now. We feel we can win any game we play.

He's hit a lot of shots like that since he's been here. I kind of had a feeling he would hit it.

I thought it was going to go in.

We definitely wanted to cut his water off and shut him down. He's a key player on their team. Once we did that, we knew the rest of the guys would have a tough time if we just played solid. But Johnson played very well tonight and their guards hit some big shots as well.

We knew we needed to get some stops and make a couple of shots down the stretch. We didn't make the stops, but we made the shots.

We need to continue to work to get better. I need all my teammates to help me out. I can't do it by myself it's a team game.

We just stayed poise as a team. We knew we had five minutes left (in overtime period) and that's a lot of time.

Our confidence is high. We just feel we can beat any team that we play on any night.

That was a big-time play, but we were still in the game. We were up one, we just needed to get some stops.

That shot Diaz hit, that 3-pointer -- man, that was the heartbreaker. We were just more aggressive than North Carolina. Diaz is a great player. I mean we look for him all the time because he makes it happen.

It was big for us getting a road win coming off two losses. You love to have games like this.

It's definitely going to be a test, but we've proven that we can beat a ranked team.

I definitely didn't want the season to end like this, but we have to keep playing. We have to make a run and put ourselves in the best position possible.
