Sometimes, you have to take the good with the bad. As long as the good outweighs the bad, then you're all right. |
Surprisingly, it's not that hard to block things out. You just go up there confident, with a clear head. |
That comes with experience. We've been through this. We know we can come back if we put our mind to it. |
That is most important with our program -- defend the rebound. When you go against Boston College, you have to keep them off the offensive glass. That's most important with us when we go against bigger teams. |
That shows you're one of the best teams, if not the best team in the league. |
That was my mistake. I was supposed to be in front of Rudy at the time and I let him catch it behind me and that was why I picked up the foul. That was definitely my fault. |
That's just what we do. That's how we play. That's our system. Until somebody decides to stop us guards, then we'll continue to do that. Once they do stop us or we have an off night, we have guys that we can go inside too. A lot of people don't think we have an inside game. |
That's one thing Coach stressed early in the season, that if we're going to play four guards, we better rebound. |
That's why I was hanging my head. When it first happened I was like, 'You can't be serious, not another knee injury.' That's why I was so scared. We've had a lot of knee injuries on this team and I didn't want to be another one. |
The brace was really good, it eliminated the pain. Even if I was on the bench I was still going to cheer the guys on. Just to play was very special. |
The last two years, Coach Wright's been real in depth with what he wants us to do. He definitely defined everyone's roles on the team. He basically just bases the offense on guys doing what they do best. |
The real good teams and the real great teams find a way to win. |
Their defense also did a great job, I can't take anything away from them. Every shot was contested; there were very few real open looks. They did a great job contesting our shots and making sure we took tough shots. |
Their defense did a great job on us. Every shot was contested. There were very few open looks. |
There are not too many games you're going to win having 22 turnovers. |
