At Oregon State, we were up by 20 in the second half and lost the game. Minnesota went on a 17-5 run late in the first half and won. We just had to learn how to finish games off ... but we learned a lot from those four road games. |
Everyone who plays is going to have an impact on the game. Everyone has to pick it up. |
I couldn't turn that down. |
If you didn't know him, that's too bad. |
It's a great thing for us. The first time we played BYU, the coaches put us through a whole week of preparation. |
It's important for us to establish a mind-set on how we're going to play in the conference tournament. You want to go into the tournament with positive momentum. |
There were too many breakdowns. We'd give them an open look and they'd knock down the shot. |
This is big. We're trying to focus on ourselves and get ready for the tournament. We need a win. |
We'll have to fight them and whoever fights the longest and hardest will win. They have great shooters. |
We're all trying to pick it up so Louis doesn't have to stress all the time. It could be nerve-wracking, just knowing you have to get it done every night. With us helping, every little bit he gives us is a benefit. |
We're the top two teams according to the standings. Whoever wins is in the driver's seat, so we've got to take care of business. |
We've been slacking when Lou's been in there. We have to make sure we keep moving and not let them collapse on Lou. He'll get us the ball when they double him. Then it's up to us to make shots. |
We've got to be a little more patient and get the best look. |
We've got to turn it around or our season's going to slip away. It was a real wake-up call (Thursday). |
When you know you're going to play, you can be relaxed. I don't play with fear anymore. I don't have to look over my shoulder every time I make a mistake that I'm coming out. |
