“We huddled up quickly, and we knew that we couldn't do anything about [the injury], and we just had to win the game. We wanted to prove that we can play no matter what. J.R. is a great player, but when J.R. can't play, someone else has to step up.”
“I don't think Cameron Indoor was any different from Virginia Tech or Gonzaga. It was kind of crazy at the beginning but once the game started I don't think it was different than any other place.

“That's what we're waiting for (today). We're going to play even harder. We remember what happened a couple of weeks ago and we are a much better team than we played down there.”
“We needed a few stops; that's what we were thinking. I wasn't really actually worried that we were going to lose because I knew that my teammates were going to pull it out. I knew we could play better.”
