Coach (Dave) Odom had his team ready. They executed well, they took care of the ball, they spread the floor and they hit a lot of clutch shots.

Well, I certainly want to compliment and commend the Gamecocks. Coach Odom had his team ready, and they executed their game plan extremely well. By taking care of the basketball, spreading the floor, really making some clutch shots, I thought their kids really played with a lot of energy and heart.

Tennessee has had a great year. Coach (Bruce) Pearl and staff should be commended.

Our coach told us to get out on the shooters, make sure they put the ball on the floor and play help defense. We just turned our defense up and played up-tempo.

Anthony played fantastic. He's an undersized post player, but he can put the ball on the floor, he can get to the basket. He's shown flashes of that all year.

Dave really cares about the things I care about.
