Good article. A few of the quotes...
Hunter smiled. "If they want to chant another team's name [UMBC] while we're winning, I guess that's the best they can do."
"It's a great atmosphere," Virginia freshman point guard Kihei Clark said. "If you're a basketball player, I don't know how you can't love something like that."
"I'm just so happy for him," Guy said. "We were joking [before the game] about how his career high is only 10 and he hasn't dunked at all this year, and he put us all to bed tonight."
"There's nothing more fun in basketball than quieting a hostile environment on the road," said Jerome, a 6-5 junior guard. "It's one of the most exhilarating feelings in sports."
Guy said: "I definitely thrive off getting heckled. Every stadium is going to be loud, especially if we're ranked high and continue to play good basketball, but when they start to come at me personally is when I really like to turn it on."
"[Guy] and Jerome, they're some confident guys," Ayala said. "There's not really a shot that they don't like, and their coach trusts them to make plays at the end of the day, and that's what they did. A lot of respect to those guys and the work they put in; they're a number-four team in the country for a reason. Those guys are running that show, so a lot of respect to them."
* Salt on facing two of the nation's top post players, Wisconsin's Ethan Happ and Fernando, in back-to-back games: "Both are great bigs, and traditional back-to-the-basket bigs. You don't see that very often today. So I took it as a challenge for myself, just to try to stay disciplined, stay physical and not give them anything easy at the rim."
