[The bench players] were huge. It took everybody to get this done. |
Have a great day at school. |
He has an incredible opportunity to play at the next level (the pros), and I think he can do it. Hopefully, today he was able to showcase his individual talent as well as being a leader on the floor. Words can't explain what he means to this team. |
I don't think we want to go into Binghamton to the (awards) banquet and share (the title) in their building. It would be kind of tough considering what we've done so far, and to lose it here down the stretch. |
I think we're both pretty easygoing and that's why we remain friends to this day. |
I wasn't as athletic as a lot of the other guys, so you've got to do the little things. You've got to hustle. You've got to box out because you're not going to jump over anybody. For me and (Lillis), getting on the floor and diving for a loose ball is as good as getting a dunk. |
It definitely gives you confidence. Like last year and earlier this year, you're winning a game and losing one, and you go back and forth like a mediocre team. Finally, you're putting some wins together, and it gives you a lot of confidence going into your next game. |
The whole key for us is to weather the storm of the first four minutes. We have to keep our composure and the good thing is that a lot of people will be cheering for the underdog against a traditional power. |
They have guys who go on to the NBA and we have to figure out a way to beat them. I just hope we don?t get dunked on too much. |
We said before the game, it was going to take everybody to get this done. I think everybody took that to heart and came together. |
We were a little surprised, but we made some shots early, and I guess they thought that the only way to stay in the game was to play man-to-man. |
You don't want to go into the tournament losing two in a row and have everybody else having momentum and us having none. So I think it'd be huge to go in there and win on the road and then go play the conference tournament on the road. |
