[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On shooting the ball well tonight… [/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“When we’re shooting the ball well it really spreads out the floor, especially for Anthony and Terrence for lobs. It’s hard to defend us when we are shooting the ball like that.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On multiple guys making shots throughout the night… [/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“That makes us so hard to guard if they don’t really know who to stop. It just shows our depth, especially when Darius is coming off of the bench. It makes us hard to defend and hopefully we can keep it up.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On everyone sharing the ball with one another… [/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“I think it’s because of how close we are. We all want to see each other succeed, so we just want to make the right play and make the unselfish one. That’s what we have been doing and that is why we have been successful.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On Darius Miller’s last home game…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“It’s great for the seniors to go out like that, especially with how well Darius played. We are proud of him and he’s accomplished a lot these past four years.” [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial Narrow]#30, Eloy Vargas, F[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On his Senior Night experience…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“It feels great. I am going to miss Kentucky, Rupp Arena and the fans. It felt special coming out of the locker room and hearing all the fans chanting my name.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On whether he was nervous starting…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“I really wasn’t. I was a little before, in the locker room, but I was fine.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On what it has meant to be apart of this Kentucky team…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“It’s been really great to be apart of Kentucky. [Especially] not losing a game at home. [It would be] really special for everyone to come to Kentucky and not lose at home. To come from a different country and be apart of this family and feel the support the people give you [makes me] feel very grateful.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On what it meant to him for Ellen Calipari and Dana Antigua to walk him out…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“Well, it was nice for them [to do that] because my mom could not make it in. I think she is going to make it in for the tournament. I appreciate what they did for me and my mom [since] she could not be here.”[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial Narrow]#20, Doron Lamb, G[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On whether this is as good as the team has felt all year shooting the ball…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“I think so. We were just on fire today. We made 15 three’s as a team. That’s unbelievable for a team to do that, though. It means we were all hot. Every player was on fire today. It’s started from the shoot around this afternoon.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On whether he thinks the team has ever collectively shot so well…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“That was my first time playing on a team that did that, really. I was surprised that we all made 3’s. We were on fire at the same time so that was a great stretch for us.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On how difficult of a team Kentucky is if they shoot well consistently…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“We’re unbeatable really. If we’re all shooting and making shots like that, really. Can’t say anything about that.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On whether he’s happy for Darius having a successful Senior Night…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“Darius played great in his last home game, really. They things he did for the school and the points, how many home games he won in a row. He did a lot of great things for the school and I’m proud of him.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]#1, Darius Miller, G[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On how it felt to play well tonight…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“It felt good. My teammates were finding me when I was open and I was so happy to be knocking down shots. It feels real good to go out on a win, keep the home winning streak alive, and just happy to be apart of it.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On what he will remember during his time at Rupp Arena…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“A lot. I have experienced a lot in Rupp Arena, a lot of great moments. It is kind of hard to narrow it down to one.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On the Senior Night ceremonies…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“It was real fun, a lot of fun. I’m glad I got to experience that with my family, I’m glad they got to be here. My grandma was at the game and it’s the first game she’s been to since I’ve been here. It was pretty special for me.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow][I]On why this team is so unselfish…[/I][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Narrow]“Because we get along with each other. I think we are all focused on the same thing which is winning a national championship. When you get along with everybody, spend time with everybody, and all have the same goal, I think it kind of happens that way.”[/FONT]
