My freshman year I was fortunate, I was lucky to be part of a great team like that and make a run at the right time. I'm not worried about what I did in the past. When I look back and my career is over, that's fine. |
Of my twelve misses I thought eight were going in. We got all the shots on the offense and that was key. We rushed a couple in transition. We played as well as we should have. |
Playing a basketball game and just enjoying it. That's really what it's all about, people coming together and working hard for a good cause. |
Seeing other people and the situations they're in, it makes you realize how blessed you are and how fortunate you are. It's important for us to help out. |
The bottom line is, you have to win. You have to go down there with the same mentality as if you were a No. 1 seed or a No. 16 seed. We've had good seeds in the past. We had a good seed last year, and look where it got us. We have to go down there with the mentality that we still have a lot to prove. We still think we can hopefully make some noise in this tournament. |
The most important statistic to me is that we've won every game I've played here. |
There's no doubt that defensively they play me better than anyone. They've played great on me. They've been there on every catch, they hedge me on ball screens. I've had a difficult time. |
They have probably two or three of the best defenders in the league. It was difficult in the first half. |
This was really something special for me – getting the opportunity to come back and play before the local fans. Coming home is something most players dream about, but rarely get to experience. |
Today was overwhelming. I can't put it into words. I didn't expect it to be as emotional as it was. It was an overwhelming experience. I've had four great years. To say goodbye is difficult. |
Under the circumstances, this is the most important shot that I've hit. In the situation we're in, we're fighting and trying to battle for every game, we needed this one. |
We came out a little flat in the second half, and that was it. |
We came out ready to play; it was kind of early so we knew that we had to get ourselves going. Fortunately, we made some shots early, put the pressure on them and got out to an early lead. |
We can (win against) any team in the Big East. It's just up to us. If we play with a passion and a sense of urgency there's no telling how well we can play together. |
We can't (underestimate opponents). How can we underestimate anyone? We've lost four games straight. We can't underestimate Rutgers. |
