(It has been) 15 games since then. That makes a difference. Our guys believe in themselves. They know that the team that went out there against Duke wasn't us. |
Based on what we've accomplished this year, without a doubt, I'm confident in our resume to get in. We just have to wait and see what happens. |
Be focused but have fun. We play better when we're focused but when we're at ease. |
Been there, done that. We've been in that situation before. You have a frame of reference to give you belief because you've been there. |
Donald [Copeland] got a haircut. He looks a little different. |
For us to be at our best, we have to defend. |
He closes out on balls like a defensive back closes out on interceptions. |
He had spurts in the early games, but now, he's going in with the right mind-set. |
He knows how to play. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the NBA in his future. But it's not up to me to say when. |
He wants to win. He doesn't like to lose. We want to win and we don't like to lose. We can hug and kiss later figuratively, not literally. |
He's been a rock to the program. He's like a son to me. |
He's established himself as the leader of this team. |
He's got size, and he's got a quick release. They do a nice job moving him around, and everybody screens for him. We worked hard against him. We had a hand in his face, and he made some shots. |
He's unselfish. Copeland said he was ready, let's go. We made some free throws late, and Whitney and Copeland are one of the best inside-outside combinations in the conference. |
I can't speak for Seton Hall. I don't know what their plans are. I can only speak for me and our team. |
