I'm not one of those guys that wants to come out and score 40 every game. I just want to be a solid player. Our team came out and won in a tough place, and ultimately, that's what I want. |
I've got a lot of other stuff to focus on; I'm not even thinking about that. |
If Sean May and Marvin still would have been here, I think I could have learned a lot from them. . . . But with them gone, I fell in the mix real quick. I've had a lot of experience that a lot of freshmen don't get so soon. . . . I've learned that way, too. |
It showed a lot for us. We were down 17, came back, made a big run and got right back in it. It shows what type of team we can be. |
It was partly my fault. My movement wasn't as it should have been. |
It was really important. The crowd really got into it and they had a big effect. There were a couple of times there where I couldn't hear the whistle. |
It was really physical. It was pretty bumpy, and they were double- and triple-teaming me at times. That's when I had to stay within myself and make some pretty good moves. |
It's a small community. Everybody knows each other. |
It's hard to block that out, [and] sometimes you have to listen. When sometimes you're playing good, you can't just say, 'No, I'm not.' But you can't get a big head about it. |
It's not something we've talked about, you know. |
It's something that's special to me. It will be something that I talk about later down the road. I think it's probably one of my best individual performances. I haven't played against the level of competition that I've in college. In high school I didn't see players who were 6-9. |
My ears started ringing when they made that run. It's everything it's hyped up to be. |
Over the last couple of games it's been real physical. We have games back really quickly and sometimes my body doesn't have time to recover all the way. Sometimes you have to play with little bumps and bruises. |
The NBA is definitely a goal of mine down the line, but right now I am enjoying college a great deal and feel I can improve in every phase of my game. I enjoy school, my teammates and being part of the Carolina basketball program. |
There were points and times where I felt like we were so close. We just needed one big stop. |
