Auburn, the way they played us, is a little unorthodox with the 1-3-1, and they did a good job of taking me out of my rhythm. I've got to do a better job picking my spots on when to attack. |
Coach called a play for me, isolated, and gave me the ball. I had a good look at it and just didn't make the shot. |
He doesn't play like he's a freshman. He's going to be tough for us to guard the way he penetrates. |
He's been better (than expected). Anytime anybody comes in with those credentials and those expectations -- and the way he's performed -- everybody forgets he's just a freshman and he's playing older guys every night. And dominating them a lot of times. |
Hopefully, it's good luck for us. If it works, just stay with it. Whatever we did today, I guess we'll do again on Saturday. |
I always knew I was capable of scoring, but that wasn't my role on the team, especially last year. With Chuck going out, we don't have a lot of experience and being a leader on the team, I have to be aggressive. I still look to pass the ball first, but I'm getting more opportunities to score and I'm trying to take advantage of it. |
I couldn't help it, but it was hard to watch. I was nervous, like I was at the game. |
I remember him. He was one of the higher-ranked guys. I played against him. He was good. |
I thought he was going to make it. He doesn't miss many of those. It was just a little bit off the mark, luckily for us. |
I thought he was going to make it. My heart stopped when he got open. |
I wanted to drive to the basket and try to score and, if not, get a put-back, but it fell short. |
I've heard it's a lot of fun. It's my first time being there so I'm looking forward to the experience. |
It hurts because we feel we're just as good. We're just one shot away. It also gives us confidence. We've played with all of those teams and we know we've got what it takes to get there. |
It's going to be important because we need this win to try to get into the tournament, but, him being one of my former teammates, it's going to be a little bragging rights type of thing, too, between the two of us. |
It's like a road game for us. It's going to make it a lot of fun for us, playing a good team with a lot of high-profile players. Nobody expects us to win. That's motivation for us. |
