I don't really know, it could go both ways. We have experience going through the NIT. But we've been through it and we wanted to make another step, a bigger step. We can either hang our heads or try to finish it, the way Coach said. |
I got a whole bunch of money, about $300. I've got to pay bills. |
I just have to play as hard as I can when I get in there. I kind of expected this. Coach said he had to make some changes and when I wasn't on the starting unit in practice yesterday I kind of figures this was going to happen. |
I just knew I had to produce to help make this team be good. If I can produce, this team we have can be real dangerous. |
I realize I can get points off the glass. When teams are taking me away on the offensive end, I can get them off the glass, so I've been concentrating on that in practice. |
I was just trying to be aggressive, and I just wanted to be a presence out there. |
I was trying to be more of a presence on defense. I wanted to be more active. |
I've been a little under the weather the last two games but now I'm getting my strength back. It felt really good to be out there helping the team. |
I've been sick for the last couple of games, and just not feeling good or eating much. Tonight, I felt like I could play a lot and be productive out there, and it's good to have my health and strength back. |
It feels good that we won and I helped us win. I was just trying to be aggressive out there. |
It was good to get my strength back, my health back. |
That's what hurt us. It's hard playing an extra 35 seconds on defense. |
The little things in the first half, I think that's what lost the game for us. We had silly turnovers, fouls on 3-point shooters, not blocking out (Brian) Randle and stuff. Stuff like that, we need to toughen up. |
This isn't a good feeling. We've been wanting to get respect, but you have to earn it. Today we didn't earn it. |
To be in first place is really hard to comprehend, but it feels great. Last year we were getting beat bad and now this. |
