We know that he's the best foul shooter on the team, so we wanted to get him the ball at the end, so that he could go to the line and knock them down. |
We really play four guards at the beginning of the game and at the end, if we have the lead. In our last game, we only played six minutes with the four guards. |
We shot really bad against Texas and we still could have won the game easily by 10 when you watch the film. We've got to get back to having fun out there. |
We still have to go out there and play the game. The other team is hungry, just like we are hungry. It doesn't matter once you get out there on the court. If you are a one seed or a 16th seed, once you get into the tournament. |
We were like, we don't have Curtis, what are we going to do?. We have a lot of young guys. We really didn't have anyone to turn to. |
We're ready, everyone's ready. Everyone can't wait. We're ready to go. |
We've got to get it together. We can't wait for them to roll over and die. |
When all that stuff happened, no one turned on each other. Everyone stayed together. Sometimes things in life are tough and you have to be a man and face it. |
When I was dribbling the ball at the end [of Sunday's win], I just thought about a lot of hard work, a lot of little bruises and injuries we had. But we just kept fighting through it. |
You can't have concern, you can't panic. We're 11-2. It's not like we're under .500. We still have a lot of games to play and a lot of room for improvement. |
You have to be aware of him when you go to the basket. He?s a big guy. He?s kind of like (Roy) Hibbert at Georgetown. He?s long and blocks a lot of shots. |
You have to go out there and give a great effort because if you don't, you're on a losing streak. |
You just think back, and you know all the hard work you put in is finally paying off. |
You look at the great teams and all the great teams went 30-1, 30-2. They took a loss. You've got to learn when you lose in the beginning, you just have to learn from it. You can never let it be a setback. If it's a setback, you can lose five, six games in a row. |
