I can't remember the last time we came out and played that well. We didn't play that well in the first half, but in the second half we played as well as we had all season. When we play like that, we're tough to beat.
We had a lot of doubters, but we just believed in each other and the way we played every night. It feels great, especially since it's our school's first national championship. It doesn't get any better than that.
We said we played our worst basketball half of the year - and we're tied up.
Tennessee plays four guards. So we've played against it before. We've got to go inside. We're not going to change our game. We're going to play the same way we have been playing.
Everybody's always talking about how their team plays D. Tonight, we saw who played D.
It's a huge factor. But we feel like we're a lot older than we are. We've played over 60 games together in two years. We feel like we're older and we try to play older.
We're very excited, especially after the way we played at their place. Now we get them in the O Dome. It's payback.
It's going to help us a little bit. We played them last year, so we know what they're all about. We know how good their guards are and we've got to be ready for them.
