We talk about us having six starters. Whoever that sixth person is going to be coming off the bench, they've got to be a spark, and Nicky did a great job of that. |
We were playing good defense, we're just struggling offensively putting the ball in the basket. This happened last year against Kansas on Senior Night, and we just knew we were going to catch fire, and Britt just got us going. |
When Higgins hit that 3, it hit us in the heart. That was exactly what we didn't want to happen. |
When I went to this point-guard camp the big thing they stressed was getting the ball to your teammates where it's easiest from them to score. |
When we're not shooting the ball as well as we have, and we're not getting the looks like we have in the past couple of years, you look at what we're doing well right now. That's playing defense. |
Why we were so successful this year was the balance of the five starters and people who also contributed off the bench. I doubt it will be any one person coming in and trying to average 25 points a game again. It's going to have to be the success of a group of people -- that's what basketball is all about. |
