These games are just a lot of fun. We get to come out and meet a lot of people and see how these fans still support us even though our time at Kentucky is done.

It's still in the back of our minds.

It's not that we're not happy to be here. We're very happy to be here. We're just focused on getting ready to play.

A lot of guys were complaining of not doing what they want to do.

After you've been here for four years, you sort of know what coach wants. That's pretty much what he's trying to get through to some of the players on the team - just play within the system and the system will work.

Sometimes you find guys that actually want to play you like it is a real game. You can tell these guys were all pretty serious about their basketball and they are used to having a good program here. But it was still a lot of fun and I just hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

There was a lot of excitement in that locker room. We'd played our hearts out and left everything we had on the floor.

Big impact. We were kind of down. Those big blocks got our intensity picked up a little bit.

We just need to find a way to make things go right. It's all about us doing the right things. We have to do what we want to teams instead of letting them take the game away from us. It's not like we can't win if we do the right things and play the right way.

We sat around and talked about it a little bit that we have nothing to lose because we don't have the No. 1 seed or a top three seed so we can just leave everything out on the court.
