Everyone in the gym knew he was going to take those shots. A lot of guys say they want to take the big shot. Rashad always wanted to take the big shot. He still does. |
It won't mean a thing Saturday night, unless we make it mean something. |
We are very fortunate to have the kind of kids we have. They work very had and they trust the system. |
We don?t build ?me? guys, we build ?we? guys. I got down and dirty with Rashad as much as coach Calhoun has. If he messed up, I told him so. I sat him on the bench. A lot of kids take that and it breaks them. Rashad is very much a strong rubber band. |
We jumped out to a 9-2 lead, and our guys thought the game was over. And then they came back and led us, 13-12. I hope I was able to get the message across that they are a big and athletic team and you have to play the whole game. |
We were very patient. And we executed very well. |
