Chris Richards Against Quotations

Some of those players in New York have made a name for themselves in those parks and I guess Jo played pretty good against them. You know how street ball is, there's no referees. It's a tough game. So when he came back from there, his confidence was through the roof. He was a tougher player. He was ready for anything.

I think it's kind of been hard for a lot of teams to match up against us in the post as far as speed and quickness and all that kind of stuff. If they weren't able to do it, too, it wouldn't be a surprise to me.

We felt like we let those two (games against South Carolina) get away. We've got to come back in more focused (today).

A lot of us want to prove ourselves against bigger teams.

Everyone has been pulling against us. We're used to it. From day one, nobody expected us to be where we are now. Everyone expected us to be in the NIT and now we're in the biggest game we can be in in college. All that stuff is a bunch of hype. We don't care about that stuff, all we have to do is go out and execute.

I look at this is another road game, because everybody is going against us obviously. It's another game that we have to come in and execute more than we execute at home. It's crazy.
