They looked out of rhythm. They had to run all the way through their entire offense and then force up a shot. |
They might be a little dinged up, but they're still a good team. |
They started doubling Hilton and Josh and tried to crowd the middle and make us beat them on jump shots. |
They were in a zone and the zone was kind of spread out. Hilton had them sealed and had the height advantage and on the other (assist), everyone just packed it in and Rudy was wide open. |
They were leaving me open, so if I'm open, I'm not going to turn it down. I'm pretty relaxed. I'm getting into a groove playing with these guys. I've been feeling good, getting more used to the college game. |
They're giving me lanes, giving me shots to take. So why not take them? I think our team can accept any challenge a team throws at us. |
They're really good at running their stuff and getting open shots, so we really just need to get up in them and force them to be really athletic and make sure they can't run their plays the way they want. |
They've had some tough losses. Either they're going to tank it, or they'll come out in the Big East and turn it up a notch. |
This is a team I thought that could get to the national championship game. |
This is going to be big for us. |
This is our time to restore the season. This is going to show a lot of this team's heart. We are starting from scratch with a 0-0 record. |
This is the first time it's ever been like this around here. It feels great. I don't know how to describe it. Nobody wanted to give us the credit we deserved. |
This is what you work for all year, to get a good seed. We're where we want to be. |
This was probably the toughest game since I've been back. I was tired with like three minutes left. I kind of looked at him (Calhoun) for a sub and he said we had a TV timeout coming up. So I waited. I waited it out, but I was tired. |
To be honest, at the beginning of the year, in Maui, I tried to force the issue with scoring. Coach (Olson) basically said to play within the offense, get open shots. So I bought into that. I've grown a lot. I've seen a lot of improvement in my game. |
