All you can say is that's incredible. He stepped up when they needed it. The problem was we laid off him, not by choice, by accident in the second half. |
Basketball is a game of runs. Everybody can easily run off 10 or 12 points real quick. It is just how we respond when they start going on a run. |
Basketball is a game of runs. We had had some runs, but they had more runs and better runs than we did. |
But we can't dwell on that. We just have to take games one at a time and see what we can do. |
Coach Odom asked us. He said if we wanted to, we could cash it in. He told us if we were going to play in the NIT, play to win. |
Everybody around this time of year is physically tired. It just depends on the team that's most mentally focused. I think right now, whoever wants it more at that point in time, that's who's going to win. And this team right now, we really want this. |
Everybody in the gym knew Rondo was going to get it. My main concern was not letting him get to the lane. I thought it was going to be in our favor if he pulled up and took the jump shot. But he hit it. |

He is phenomenal. That's the Renaldo that we can get used to. I think next year if he can keep that up, the sky is the limit for that guy. |
He was phenomenal. He got every rebound and blocked shots. |
Hopefully this is our turn to make a run, a big run. We needed a turn as quick as possible. Everyone hates to lose, but we're tired of losing. |
I don't know what to say or how to say it. We're still believing and still fighting. Hopefully, the man above will have mercy and we can get this thing turned around as quickly as possible. |
I don't think it was fatigue. We were taking shots with confidence, but I think we were aiming them more than shooting them. |
I don't want to say revenge. We're just hungry for everything. |
I just played really relaxed tonight. The ball felt good leaving my hand. |
