20 Quotes by Gabe Norwood

Nobody out here is having more fun than we are, and we wanted to keep it that way. Right now, it hurts. We didn't want this season to end this way. We wanted to be carrying the trophy out of here, but you can't win 'em all.

I think we definitely understand how great of a season it's been. But at this point right now, we're so close we wanted it, I know we all did. To say that we're satisfied, I can't. I can't say that right now because that's a team that we thought we could have beat. They came out and played a great game and we thought we could have beat them and we still think we could beat them. But we don't get another chance.

I think that's just me, the team and the coaching staff having so much fun. It's a once in a lifetime thing, so there's no point in getting stressed.

Our fight song was playing and our pep band wasn't even here yet. They did a good job, so I can't complain.

Our coaches have preached that the whole way through the tournament: Just have fun. There's no pressure on us. In earlier games, we could have lost by 30 to Michigan State and North Carolina and everybody wouldn't have been writing about us, and we would have just went home and this would have been done with. But we don't feel any pressure now that we're here. We can just go out and play.

That was the furthest thing on my mind two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, I was just hoping to get in. I thought of it every day since the day after we got in. When opportunity knocks, open the door. That's what we're trying to do, just walk through the door.

Wherever you are, you can hear it. Nobody on the team can imitate it. I don't think anyone has ever tried. He's got the copyright on that whistle.

We dug ourselves in a hole. We continued to play hard but when you're down 17 points with 10 minutes left, it gets a little tough.

Yeah, it was pretty funny. I don't know how he comes up with those things.
