Coach Painter's been utilizing a lot of new drills that I like, some that I don't like, but I still gotta do them, they make you better. |
Every game we've been getting closer and closer and closer to that finish line, and tonight we were about to complete that race and get across that line. |
Every time we have a whole lot of fans here, we win. It's a trend. We love the fans, we appreciate the fans we want them to keep coming out. |
He did a lot of opening up and allowing people to work. He allowed Gary Ware to really just have a field day, he was backing in doing whatever he wanted. |
He's real versatile. It's going to be hard to just shut somebody completely down that takes that many shots. I just have to play tough defense and stay with him the whole time. |
I can't make lateral moves. I feel like I'm about to fall when I go left to right. I'm trying to adjust to playing on one leg. |
I started so late in the season, I just wanted to score 30 on one play. I just wanted to do everything all at once and rushing, rushing, and rushing. I realized if I calmed down, the game will come to me. |
I stopped trying to post up. I realized posting up against 7-footers was not the smartest thing to do. I started trying for short-range or mid-range jumpers or driving. That allowed me to use my jumping ability to get by players. |
I think he realizes it's his last go around. He's got to go as hard as possible, and he is doing an excellent job. |
I'm used to it. I've been sitting for a while. It might be harder to get back into the flow of just playing. |
I've felt like we were going to win every game. It was just like we were so close every game. It seemed like we were getting closer and closer to the finish line. We were finally able to complete that race and get across that line. |
It's a momentum swing that we really needed. Penn State is going to be a good team. As many quality wins that we can get in the Big Ten is our goal, especially going into IU. |
It's close to Chicago, which is my hometown, so my family can come see me play. I came to a game last year, and the season wasn't great, but it was still packed with fans, which shows a lot of character. |
Our mailing list is over 600, and we know that it's far from complete. |
People were expecting a lot from me those first few games. They have to understand I was rusty. |
