00:00 >> I have not seen South Carolina play.
00:03 So get started tonight.
00:06 I'm sure we'll be able to get some stuff on them yet tonight and
00:09 get started.
00:10 Quick turnaround with the Thursday game.
00:13 So guys are gonna have to really get some things and
00:17 we're at the end of our quarter here.
00:18 So we got a lot of academic things to take care of tomorrow.
00:22 So it's gonna be a real busy day tomorrow and
00:25 Tuesday trying to get organized and get ready to go.
00:28 >> I don't think they've ever played in Pittsburgh.
00:30 Have you ever coached in Pittsburgh?
00:32 >> No, no, no, I haven't.
00:34 I've been to Pittsburgh, but I've never coached there, played anybody there.
00:38 >> So last night was such an exciting night for you guys.
00:41 How do you now refocus and kinda turn your attention to later on this week?
00:45 >> It's funny, we just talked about that.
00:46 I told him, I said, the same that applied to the Arizona game.
00:51 You got five minutes here to enjoy it, and then we move on to the next one.
00:56 I'll give you a second there.
00:59 South Carolina doesn't care that we won the Pac-12.
01:03 So it doesn't mean much.
01:08 We just gotta refocus, forget about that, and get ready for Thursday.
01:14 >> You each played in Alabama and Florida A&M.
01:16 That's it, it's been a hot minute since you played either one of those teams and
01:20 roster wise you're a little bit different.
01:21 Do you think, are those because of the common opponents?
01:24 Is there anything applicable there?
01:26 Will those be games you'll look at, or
01:27 you're gonna look at the more recent last five or so?
01:29 >> It'll be the last.
01:30 Dante wasn't playing, we're just a lot different at this time.
01:37 And I'm sure they are.
01:39 I'm sure they made progress, and they feel like they're a much better team.
01:43 But I know we're a much different team with the people we've got now,
01:48 and have to play a lot different way.
01:52 So, but no, it'll be a challenge.
01:56 They're playing a great conference, Southeast Conference.
02:00 And I'm sure it'll be a big challenge.
02:04 And I almost forgot that Jermaine was there.
02:07 So I had to give him a little hard time there.
02:10 But no, it'll be a real tough game.
