A dunk is only two points, but it's like it's worth more because of what it does to the other team. I know I'd rather get a dunk than hit a 3-pointer just because I think it gives myself and the team a little more confidence. |
A lot of people are counting us out, so that just makes us want it even more. |
Down the stretch, that's what loses games for us, free throws and big rebounds. In practice we've been working on it, everybody's been coming in before and staying extra to work on what they need to work on. |
Even though we came out with a win, we're still down on ourselves. It's disappointing to come out and play like this. |
Everybody got touches, everybody was able to get good looks at the basket. |
Everybody's confidence is just up there right now. Everybody's coming to practice motivated. Coach has been real positive with us, everybody's just in a positive zone right now. |
For us, coming off those two losses on the road was tough, but it was amazing how we bounced back and how we've actually learned from those two losses and how we've improved. |
Free throws is huge because for some of our losses, that was a big part of it. So if we just carry this confidence on the road, in a tight ball game we'll be able to knock down some free throws down the stretch. |
He's the sixth man of the year because when he comes in he gives 110 percent. When the other guys get in foul trouble or need a break, he does the job for us blocking shots, getting rebounds, tip-ins, doing all the right things. |
Hopefully, we can carry this on the road. We have to keep the same kind of focus we had in the second half. We can't let anything else distract us and I think if we do that, we'll come out on top. |
I did a horrible job defensively. We were making a run at them and I let Kemp make that run on me. I feel like I have to take the blame. |
I just did a horrible job playing defense on him. He came ready to play tonight, I didn't. He just got the better hand. |
I just wanted to play Division I basketball again, and I figured why not do it at home. |
I know we sound like a broken record saying this every time we go on the road, but I think we're going to run the table this time. I think everybody's motivated, and everybody's excited to go on the road and try and get some wins. |
I remember them being a real tough team. We have to treat it like a big game. |
