Tang spoke about the loss candidly, saying, “This is the third time I’ve lost in the Elite Eight, and you can sit around and mope and cry about it, or you can really think about the love and the joy that you’ve had through the season. And you know, like, winners keep their heads up. They don’t drop their heads, and so our guys were not going to walk off the floor with their heads down. Tough things are going to happen in our life, and we don’t get to wallow in it. We’ve got to keep moving forward. This is more of a lesson for them of becoming men than it is about basketball.”
