How does it feel? Surreal.

I feel like I'm going to have to pick up the newspaper in the morning and read it just to make myself believe it. This is incredible. We're going to the Final Four! We're really going to the Final Four!

These neighborhoods of beautiful homes and nobody in them, it was a little surreal for me. You feel a little helpless. This is our week to step up and show what we can do. We're just glad that we're here, and we're hosting the first major sporting event since the hurricane.

I'm free. I'm free to say what I feel.

I didn't feel this way after Tennessee. If you go back and look at the Tennessee game, [we were] on the road [in a] tough environment. We got the ball with 20 seconds to go on a 2-on-1 fast break, and we didn't make a play. We gave ourselves a chance to win. I felt like tonight we didn't give ourselves a chance to win.

It didn't bother me. When you're in the heat of the game, you don't feel it.
