We're trying to make a mark on this program. If you lose in the championship game, everyone is going to say you lost. If you win, you'll be remembered.
In the first half, you're feeling the other team out, trying to figure out what you can and can't get away with. In the second half, we feel like we can make the adjustments that need to be made.
Everybody's talking about getting to the Sweet 16. We're trying to get to the Final Four. That's the type of team, that's the type of guys we are. We're taking it round by round, but we're trying to win the whole thing.
It's not about revenge. You talk about revenge, they beat you last year, but it's about winning one game to get to the Final Four. Everybody's dream is to get to the Final Four if you are a college basketball player. We're trying to make that dream come true.

It's a football conference. But we're trying to make it a basketball conference.
It was quiet in the locker room, and he just started screaming. That was good for us. He was like 'Why is it so quiet?' He was trying to get us loose. We like that.
We weren't even ranked coming into the season, so we're trying to prove a point. We want to keep proving that point - that we're for real.
