A lot of people have been talking about how they have the best backcourt, but we think we have one of the best. |
After the first half, we got the jitters out of the way. We started playing basketball. |
But we never flinched. They'd make a big shot, we'd come back and make a play. |
Coach basically said we're not gonna go anywhere if the guards play like they did during the first half of the Penn game. A little switch went on today. |
Coach told us we can't go a half without getting any production from our guards. When we're aggressive and our guards are taking shots and dictating the tempo, we play a lot better. |
Everybody is drawn to him everywhere he goes. Everybody loves the guy. I'm pretty sure either after the game or before, I'll get a funny text message from him. That's just the kind of guy he is. |
He's not afraid to take those kind of shots. I think he should take them more often. |
I came in feeling good. I wasn't going to worry about getting hit. I got hit a couple times, I got an elbow to the head. |
I can't say enough about K.P. In any situation, he never flinches. He's a veteran. He's been through it. He just gives us experience and confidence. |
I did a lot of other things besides scoring the basketball. I got my guys a lot of open looks. I played good defense. I think I had a good all around game, but I attribute a lot of my game to my teammates. The way they pushed me and motivated me to keep playing hard. |
I had never played in a dome. I was a little like a deer in the headlights. |
I have to give them a lot of credit. Every time we made a run, they kept answering. |
I know for a fact the Texas Longhorns are going to show up. And that team is a great team. |
I know my Texas history. I'm proud to be part of it. |
I picked up fouls that weren't smart. A lot of those were cheap fouls. When I was on bench, I could watch the flow. Once I got back in the game, I was looking to where I could pick my spots and where I can take some opportunities. |
