At first I looked at the clock and glanced to see if anyone was open, and I knew I had to take it, so I just put it up and thank God it went in. I've made big shots, big plays, but that's by far the biggest shot I've ever made. |
At this point it's no surprise - he's been doing it all week. It gave us an emotional lift. Some guys were down. They were hitting tough shots and getting a lot of calls. For him to hit that shot in that situation we were in, that was key for us. |
Gerry is a champion, and without him, we'd be dead in the water. |
I think the main thing is I gotta be patient. I have to finish plays whenever I get a chance just be more assertive on offense. My offense comes from my guards getting me shots. You just got to put (struggles) behind you and you got to rely on your teammates to carry you. |
I've hit big shots, big plays, but this is the biggest play I've ever made. This was great. Coming off a four-game skid, to get a tough win like that is just tremendous. |
It really wasn't a surprise. He's been doing it all week long. |
It was looking like we were going to take advantage of them tonight but we barely made the game. |
It wasn't a surprise he was doing it all week long. It gave us an emotional lift. For him to hit that shot in the situation we were in was a key for us. |
The last few games, we've played with our backs to the wall. We know what we need to be ready for this game. |
The summer was just horrible after that because you're constantly thinking about that game and you can't wait for the next season. We definitely don't want to go out like we did last year. |
They play team ball. They did a great job getting to where we wanted to go (on offense). |
We knew our backs were against the wall. Nobody wanted to end up in the NIT. |
We knew we were in a do-or-die situation if we didn't step up. Our whole team had to do it. |
We made a lot of bad plays down the stretch, but our guys kept playing hard through the turnovers, through everything. We still showed resilience, that we can win tough games. |
We were worrying about the games we were losing too much, we were worrying about offense too much. We had to get back to us being a defensive team. We are a great defensive team, and I think we showed that tonight. We made it tough for them to score. |
