38 Quotes by Kevin Bettencourt

Last year wasn't as big an upset as people thought it was. But it's been a great ride.

One thing we've been talking about all year is having no regrets. The seniors, this is our last chance, and we don't want to leave anything to chance and walk out of a gym knowing we could have done this or could have done that. We just keep fighting and keep getting better.

(My teammates) do a good job of finding me and getting me open. In terms of when they come, I just shoot them when I'm open. If they happen to come at a time when we need it, then it's just a bonus. If I'm open, I'm going to shoot it, that's my role on the team.

I think it just helped us solidify last season, show that maybe wasn't as big a fluke as people thought it was.

I think we'll be more prepared this year. Last year, we didn't get back to the hotel until well after midnight and had a hard time getting to sleep with the emotions of beating Kansas.

I think we saw more of Kansas last year because they were on TV more. The coaches have assured us they have tape on everybody and they've already gone through it.

It gets very tiring to answer questions about (Kansas). It'll be nice to play Arkansas and worry about them. Kansas is a long time ago.

Last year obviously helped us and more than just the game. A game is a game. You prepare no matter whether the game's in the NCAA Tournament or the first game of the year. You really approach it the same way, at least we do. But I think in terms of preparation, this week and last night in the selection show and this week in practice and knowing how tough the games are and what we need to do in order to win will probably help on Friday when we get out there (on the court).

Sure, I?d like to get revenge for him. But he told me to just go out and enjoy the moment.
