At times, I felt like we lost focus as to what we had to do and tried to do our own thing. The way our system is set up, if we play within that, we shouldn't have these problems. |
He's an animal. You can't hold a player like that down. |
I don't feel like our backs are against the wall or anything like that. We just have to buckle down and do what we do best, and that's guarding people. If we guard people, everything will work out for us. |
I feel like I'm capable of doing things for this team. Luckily, I was able to get fouled and get put into that situation to make the shots. I was just thinking about taking my time and sticking to my routine and hopefully they would go in. |
I think Bobby has done a great job of being a floor general, making sure everybody is where they need to be on the court at all times. You have to credit him because he came here and was thrown into the fire early. |
I think it's a good opportunity for us to see what we're going to be having this year and what we need to work on. |
I was definitely surprised at how open they were leaving us. We were capitalizing on their mistakes. |
I'm just happy we won. They came at us in the first half, hitting us right in the face, and making it real hard for us on the defensive end, penetrating and pitching, guys knocking down shots and just making harder for us on the offensive end. |
It was a little bit frustrating. We were counting on our speed to get us going. We thought we'd make some shots and run them to death. But it seemed like they did that to us instead of us doing it to them. We could never really stop their offense in the first half and that put us in a hole in the second half. |
It's good to have bragging rights when I come home. I said earlier that we'd beat Wake Forest this year and we did, and it's another good win for us on the road. |
It's over. Everything that we've done all year, it's over. I'll just swallow real hard and go on with life, get ready for next year. |
They're doing better than I thought they would. |
They've been in big-game situations. They know what it takes to get the job done. |
Virginia came out and hit us in the face in the first half. They were penetrating and they were hurting us on the offensive boards, so you've got to give those guys credit. |
We just needed a spurt. Coach wanted us to get a defensive stop, and he was just telling us we needed that one guy. I thought it was time for me to step into that role. |
