I was kind of overeager in some of those games, expecting to just get the ball and score. I just realized you have to play with the team. Everyone on the team can do really well, so you have to be patient and the shot will come to you. |
I was tired with 3 minutes left. That's about as tough as it gets. That was a physical game. I made those free throws because there were a couple of timeouts there that made it easier. I'm tired. |
I wouldn't say I was surprised. At these kind of games, Jeff always comes through ... he's a man-child out there. That's normal. That's what I see all the time. |
I wouldn't say losing a guy hurts us. We're able to lose a guy and still come out with the same performance. |
I write it down every day. |
I'd rather play, maybe they've been sitting for too long. They had a big win against Rutgers, but maybe they've been sitting for too long. You never know. |
I'd say late in the game, probably (ex-North Carolina guard) Raymond Felton last year. |
I'm excited just to be out there. I'm excited to play. I was excited the first day of practice to be on the yellow (scout) team. |
I'm glad coach has a lot of confidence in me. When he brought me to the program, he sat me down and said he expected a lot of things out of me as far as making an impact early, so definitely, that was one of my biggest reasons for choosing Arizona. |
I'm not knocking anyone, but I don't think he was getting the ball ... in the right situations, the right positions. But I think he does need to be a little more aggressive. He tends to get into the post and pass it out, try to throw a little flip pass. I think he could dunk on anyone. He just doesn't try. |
I've got to get my legs in my shot. |
If he gets the ball, he's going to do something good with it. If Hilton was on another team, he could average 15 or 16 points easy. We get on him to shoot more than he does. |
If this was a month or two ago ... If we got down [on the scoreboard] we'd get down on ourselves or start taking a lot of threes or casting a lot of shots. But [Saturday] we played good defense, ran our offense, got the ball inside, just chipped away and got the lead back. |
If we didn't win, I think our chances (of getting) in the tourney would be slim. It was a must-win, and that's basically what we put in our heads and in our hearts. |
