I just knew how he felt. Selection Sunday, I'd never seen him that emotional, and he got real emotional. I just gave him a big hug and told him I couldn't let his career end.

I just recall everyone saying we weren't supposed to be here, and now we're in the Elite Eight. It was just an adrenaline rush from my head down to my feet. I can't describe it. It was an awesome feeling.

I'm picking up every memento I can find in this building. I'm taking everything back home.

After that, I felt like I was on fire. I just kept running around, trying to get open.

It was just an awesome feeling. I just looked at my father. He was smiling ear to ear. My brother, my mother . . . it was just an awesome feeling.
