Nimari Burnett reacts to win vs. Tennessee

It honestly was kind of reminiscent of that. I wasn't trying to tell that to my teammates and let it get to their head, but I definitely felt those vibes. And, um, I feel like this is a notch above, and we're going to take this like, yeah, this is Chicago level basketball. Speak on the lady behind you.

She said she was one of your coaches when you were younger. Yeah, Miss Foster. We go way back. I think we started when I was 4 years old.

I mean, back then she was crazy. She would admit to you that she was crazy too, but she had me jumping over crates and finishing layups and doing ball handling drills. And she's a huge part of where I'm at now. I'm 24, and so now you're in the Final Four.

Just speak on the moment. Yeah, just the moment of being here, sharing it with my teammates, the fans, my family. It's no better feeling. A bunch of smiles.

I feel like my adrenaline is going to be pumping until like 1 AM. So I'm super excited and we're going to celebrate this.

Yeah, I definitely feel like we are, but we're also humble and understanding the challenges that we have ahead of us. And that, you know, I mean, even Dusty said it in the huddle, yeah, this is great, but we're not content with just the Final Four. We have a chance to win the whole thing. So one game at a time, and, you know, we have two more.

How much do you guys feed off of Yaxel Lendeborg with his emotions and everything he does on both ends of the floor? I feel like we all feed off each other, but especially Yaxel Lendeborg just plays look like that and doing his thing like all over the floor on both ends of the floor. I mean, you just know if he's behind and the guy has a layup, there's a chance that it's LeBron X. I'm sorry, I keep on saying it, but it's just beautiful.

And we feed off that energy and it allows us to play free. You might have to delay things. You interviewed him last time.

Like you said before, it's a whirlwind of emotions, and I feel like going on that bus ride, I might just take a moment with my headphones. I might shed a tear or two, but I'm just extremely grateful, man. Just, I think I think that's the number one thing, just all excitement and gratitude.
