Doing well in this tournament can do a lot of things to prepare us for the NCAA. It could solidify our bid and give us a higher seed. At the same time, we've got one game to worry about right now. |
Everything they do is based off Singletary. They run him through screen after screen after screen. He's going to get his; you just want him to work for them as hard as possible. |
He's a great player. I believe he practiced those. You have to. |
I even saw him post up a few times. And everybody knows he can shoot the 3-ball. |
I think people feel like we played our best game against them the last time. Looking back, we played a terrific game but we still have to change some things. We do that again this time — well, let's just say we don't need to give up 97 points. |
I tried to keep them on their heels by attacking and getting into the paint. I just tried to be aggressive. |
If anything, that game gave us a better understanding of things that you have to do against teams such as themselves. |
It was one of those games that I've sort of been waiting for; a good game like that. It's something I've always been very capable of doing. Maybe I was a little more assertive, a little more aggressive, because that's what the game called for and that's what I needed to do. |
It was ugly, but I'm just glad we won. That (style of game) really doesn't surprise me, because since I've been here -- when we play Clemson -- that's the way the game is. |
It would be a shame for them not to select us as one of the teams. They always say it's the body of work, that it's three months and not just one game. |
It's a play we practice every day and I swear that was the first time I've thrown that lob (pass) that perfect. |
Most teams play seven or eight guys. We push the tempo and try to get them in foul trouble. And then that creates a problem where guys are not used to playing in a certain kind of environment. |
No matter what (opponents) do, he finds a way. He's a very active player and he can score in so many different ways. |
Obviously that's a game I'm going to watch because I did make some defensive mistakes on him. |
One thing about their team people may have underestimated is that they're playing extremely hard. I think that that's been a big part of their success. |
