"I can tell them about the first 10 years out of college, what I think I did wrong, what I think I did right," Holm says. "I’m only 10 years older than these guys, and these are the years where you really plant your foot and you go right or you go left. If I was 55 or 60 years old, I might not be as in touch with those formative years."

"Not to take anything away from Wisconsin at all - I really don't want it to come off like this - but they weren't better than us," [Pryor] said. "Everybody knows that if we play nine out of 10 times, we'd beat Wisconsin."

We definitely don't want to go home early. It's a goal. We all want to make it to the Final Four. We all dream about making it to the Final Four. I've been here before. I've been to the first round, second round, Sweet 16. I want to go deeper than that. I want to go deeper than the Elite Eight. It's me and Jason's last go-around, and in past years we've had another year to come back. This is it for us. We're going to have to come out and play with chips on our shoulders and hopefully our teammates feed off of us and we can make a good run, a deep run in this tournament.

They have faith to put the ball in my hands, and I didnt come out with [the win], but I promise the next time I am in that predicament, I will.

He wouldn't have caught it if it was a bowl game trophy. I know that."
