I was surprised by that — shocked by that, almost. |
I would have never expected he had that many. But he gets his points in bunches. |
I'd say (he was) frustrated. He told us we were going to be the first team to ever cause him to have a heart attack and die on the sideline. |
I'm expecting some crazy, creative fans. Everyone is saying that they're going to know my life story from when I walk in there. I'm looking forward to seeing what they're going to throw at us and have a good time with it. |
I've never changed it, never really messed with it. |
I've never seen him like that. He said he doesn't like doing that, but he got the message across that we really needed to pick it up. He was really frustrated. You could tell how angry he was, but it really got us going. |
In reality, all those guys are gone, so you can't say it's revenge. It's a completely new team. |
In the first half, we didn't play any defense. In the second half, we just came out, got some more pressure and played with energy and passion. We took pride in our defense. |
In the second half we just played harder, got in passing lanes and stopped them from running what they wanted to run. |
It's a great atmosphere, and I'm glad we stole a win from them. |
It's going to be intense. We were talking about banners the other day, me and Mike (Copeland, the fifth freshman) and Coach Holladay said, 'If you win your next three games, you get a ring.' That really does kind of put an emphasis on how big these next three games will be. |
It's poetic almost. He starts of the year with that, and this game he starts it off by banking in a 3. You kind of knew it was going to be his night. |
It's something you don't like feeling, like it's in the pit of your stomach after a loss like this. You just run things through your mind of what you could have done to help you win the game. |
Just watching him out there tonight was something special. |
Late in the game I was joking around with Dave saying he was scared late in the game since the freshmen scored the last 29 points. |
