I don't think anyone can ever imagine -- please don't give me any credit for this. It's those 11 guys in there. They've been as solid and focused and committed as we could ask. I don't know if I've ever had a team more committed to just going out and doing what it needed to do.
More Quotes from Thad Matta:
We went in and were very focused on playing our game, because we knew when you lose you go home. That motivates guys to play their best basketball. Fortunately for the team I was coaching, it was on a great roll both offensively and defensively.Thad Matta

I told them after Christmas that we didn't play hard enough against Tennessee State to really evaluate the tape. We're not a good enough basketball team to do that. If we don't play with the intelligence and intensity we have to, there's going to be some long nights for us.

If I had one quality that really ruined me and at the same time helped me, it was the fact that I never stopped looking, and by that time I was really working at it.
