Coach Miller takes it so hard. I've never seen a person take a loss so hard. I've never seen anybody take it so hard. |
Going into the tournament, knowing what's at stake, we were going to do our best and try to play harder than we had. In that tournament, we showed a lot of heart. |
He's a lot bigger, so he can get in there for the rebound. B.J. is not going to back off anybody. Him coming into the game, he's gong to be aggressive. That's what we need. |
Him being here today really showed us he still cares. He's our team captain. ... He's such a big part of our team. |
I don't think we ever lost trust in each other. We just forgot how to play hard. |
I just did whatever I had to do to get my hand on it. |
I respect him, but everybody talks about the fear factor. There's nothing like that. If he gives me 50 (points), and we win, it's whatever. If he gives me 50, and we lose, I'm still going to be giving my best. |
I think I did cool. He ended up with 35. I mean, it's not 40. |
I think so, because he's such an important coach and he's known everywhere. It's going to seem a little different. |
I was a freshman; I didn't know anything about that tournament. I didn't really know how hard it would be until it was over. Really hard. |
It was a big change. It's a whole lot more open now. Brian averaged 16 points for us, and losing that, we have to make up for it. Everybody was looking to be more aggressive. |
It was rough, but he was speaking truly about how we were playing. I think personally when you get back and you've got a charter plane and you get $30,000 a year for your education, he's got a right to yell at us. |
It's a funny feeling without him being there. He sits in the same spot every day, and he's not there. It's kind of awkward for us now. |
It's pretty low. But we've got the A-10 Tournament coming up. We can't just walk in there with our heads down. |
My freshman year, we could really depend on three players that kind of carried us. We could screen or do whatever we were asked. Now, we have to try to lead and put some points on the board. It's changed a lot since our freshman year. |
