As a captain, I knew coming out of the locker room that I had to step up. Coach Taylor has a lot of confidence in us, and he told us to go out and play with confidence in ourselves. |
I just wasn't going to back down. I was going to be aggressive. |
I know that if we keep winning, the scouts and coaches will be out to see us. I'm not about that stuff, I'm about this team and helping this team win. |
It came down to execution. We did not execute when we had the chance. Free throws and lay-ups are something we practice every day. But we didn't execute when we had the chance, and that made all the difference tonight. |
Our offense was in sync in the second quarter. We were passing the ball well and moving it down the court quickly. I think a lot of our success happened because we were moving fast enough to keep them from getting set. |
We spent a lot of time in practice learning who he was. So we were ready for him every time he got the ball. |
We were 9-17 my sophomore year. We made a vow to turn this program around. This year our goal was 20 wins. We were able to surpass that, and I'm pretty proud of that. |
