"This team, in spite of whatever downs we’ve had and losses like today, has been a really special group," coach John Thompson III said.

"One of the first things I said to coach Gottfried when I met him, I said, ‘I don’t want this to be a rebuilding year. I don’t want to just play to get better. I think we’ve got the talent and the pieces that we could be a dominant team,’" Wood said.

Brown couldn’t wipe the smile off his face after the game.

"You never know what to expect in this tournament," he said, sounding far more sage than a sophomore should. "A lot of great teams went down a couple of days ago. And we’re just out here playing our best. And Coach is a believer in us and we believe in ourselves."
