A lot of times we kick our own self in the butt. I think, when we're playing our best, no one can beat us. |
All they're doing is saying something that happened. It's not like they're threatening me. I can take that. I hear Coach every day. |
As a freshman you go in there and you step into deep water. Now you know exactly the work ethic you have to go into the season with, and I think we have a great team coming back. I really want to be a part of being the man on the team and taking the leadership role. That will help me grow. This team will have the potential to do a lot of big things. |
Being able to get people the ball, from 94 feet, 50 feet, 10 feet, I think that helps. It's hard to get certain players the ball in certain situations. I think that's an unsung talent. Hopefully I can be successful on the next level with it. |
Coach hasn't talked about it at all. But I think I've seen the shot. |
Coach mixed up the teams today and gave me an opportunity to go out there and start playing again with my teammates. |
Coach said this is probably the toughest part of our schedule by far. We have to make sure we focus. |
Day by day he's getting smarter and smarter. I guess he just saw a loose ball and got after it. |
Everyone is going to say get stronger. |
Everything about him is competitive. It seems like he wants the spotlight on him when they're down 15 with 10 minutes left. It seems like he likes that. |
He came back to the hotel angry. I just told him everyone has their game. Your game wasn't [Friday]. Just come back strong on Sunday. |
He can do that all the time. He's a really talented player. I don't think he lets himself go. I think he's too poised. I think he can go out there and make plays like that all the time. He's soft-spoken, but he's been getting more and more aggressive every day. |
He doesn't look like an athlete, but the way he comes off screens and the range he has makes him tough. |
He just really taught us to play together. At the beginning, when we were losing a lot, we just weren't playing together. And now we're just playing together, playing good defense, and kicking people's butt -- and that's what we came to do. |
He knows the situation is not how he wants it, but he still expects a lot out of us. He expects us to bring a ring from this tournament. |
