A win is a win. When you can scratch and claw and pull out a win like that in an ugly game, it's a plus. |
I am going to do everything possible to stay eligible, just in case things don't work out. |
I guess we thought we'd arrived a little bit and got a little big-headed (after being ranked). But everything's back in perspective now; we know what we've got to do - that's win games to get to the tournament. |
I heard a lot of different things. But I really think it will come down to the workouts and how well I perform during the workouts. And me going against some of the guys that play my position. |
I just couldn't get in a rhythm. I didn't really want to force anything. I was trying to have the game come to me, but at the end, I had to find a way to put the ball in the basket because I knew my team needed me to score. |
I know everybody was looking forward to the (NCAA) tournament . . . Now, it's kind of like when you don't meet your goal, it's the other one (NIT). But how many basketball games do you get to play in your life? You got to play every game like it's your last one. |
I know I am. I watch TV, just like everyone else. |
I know we had our goal set on the NCAA Tournament and I know we were still hurt by the fact we didn't make it. . . . It kind of showed (Wednesday). |
I think we were playing soft today. We got pushed around and dominated on the boards. |
I think we were playing soft. |
I'd love to play A&M. We had a tough game (a controversial 61-58 loss) down there, one we probably should have won. We'd love to get them on a neutral court and battle it out. |
I'm fully confident in my abilities and what I can do. If I have to come back here I wouldn't be sad. I would come back to a program where the coaches love me and the students love me. So it wouldn't hurt at all. |
I've just got to go back to the drawing board. Me and coach have to sit down, talk about it and see what it takes to get me open. Teams are just playing me harder. |
It definitely was messing with his mind a little. Once he got the lid off, it helped his confidence. He can bang and rebound . . . He's a guy you want to have on the court. |
It was definitely a big win for us, a huge win for us, but we've got another big game coming up (today). |
