00:00It means so much. I think about Coach Conaseca, who's looking down. I think about the conversations
00:05I had with him about Coach Pitino, about this program. I can remember specifically
00:11one conversation where, in the middle of it, he said, Jax, son of a gun's a genius.
00:18And he was putting a stamp on Coach Pitino, even though he didn't have to because he knew I was
00:23already part of that congregation. But it was almost like passing the torch. So I know he's
00:28looking down, extremely proud of his impact and the impact that Coach Pitino on this team
00:35has put on this program. It's absolutely incredible what there's still work to do, but they should
00:40certainly enjoy this night and take a bow. They deserve it. They've already proven that
00:45they can play with anybody in the country. Now it's about putting forth the energy, effort,
00:50and enthusiasm one game at a time, and this team can go as far as they want. It's not easy.
00:57There's a lot of great teams, and I'm sure it's going to be a tough road. But this team
01:01is more than capable to, at the end of the day, be the last team standing. They've proven that.
