I think (defensively) we're getting better everyday because it's just a great team effort, and we're all helping each other out. |
I think I can always improve on my jump shot, but I think I do a lot of other things well, and at the next level I think it'll be better seen. But right now, it's about my team, and I'm not really worried about it. I'm just going to work on everything anybody would want to coming out of college. |
I think it took a lot out of us emotionally, because he's our emotional leader every day, just with his energy. He called everybody constantly throughout the week, trying to help us out as much as possible. But we really missed him a lot. |
I think it was just coming out with a lot of confidence. We've had some games where we felt bad, but we were in the gym all the time working on it, and we knew they would start to drop. |
I think this is a good opportunity to further showcase my skills. I'm keeping my options open, but I'm looking forward to showing people exactly the type of player that I am. |
I think we have to have better help defense. It's getting a little too easy for guys to get easy lay-ups and easy baskets, period. There isn't a lot of team defense down there. |
I wanted to show everyone how far I've come. Especially the kids. |
I wanted to take all my visits. I hadn't sorted things out yet. I wasn't upset about it. College coaches have to make plans. If they waited around for me, they could have been hung out to dry because Mike might have decided he wasn't wanted and gone somewhere else. |
I'm not even thinking about (the NCAA tournament). We just want to go out there and play. We know it's a big game, and (we need to) go out there and play our hearts out. |
I'm not worried about playing time. I just know I'm going to have to work hard. |
I'm very familiar with some of their players. |
I've had at least 200 people asking for tickets. |
If it's Carolina, it's always been one of the powers, especially with (Michael) Jordan and James Worthy coming from there and guys like that. It's always been one of the big time schools. |
If you go back and look at our season, there have been plenty of things you can write as a soap opera. It's been on the court, off the court, injuries. |
In a game like this, every second counts. Every possession counts. That's the biggest thing you can take away from a game like this. You have to play with a greater intensity to win games like this. |
