All the pieces of the puzzle are together now. |
Coach did a great job of getting us used to those situations. |
Definitely. They had seniors and juniors that led them, and a lot of young guys that played big roles. |
Every person has their lulls. But I think I snapped out of my lulls and started to get better. |
Everybody knows us, everybody wants to talk about us. It makes you feel like all you have is your team. ... But this is going to be a test for us to see how tough we are, to see what we can do. |
Everyone right now understands and believes in our offense. It?s really starting to work. |
Everything went our way tonight. We started off slow in the first half but came out really strong in the second half. |
He came on strong down the stretch. It's good to have that presence down there and it kind of opens up the rest of the game for us. |
He sees the floor better than a lot of point guards. He makes it a lot easier for us. Sometimes you won't even think you're open, but our reaction is to have our hands up and be ready for the ball. Then the ball just winds up in there. |
I couldn't see out of it for a long time, most of the first half. It kind of bothers you, but if you are trying to win a game you aren't worried about it. You have to put it behind you. |
I don't ever want to let that happen again. |
I haven't been past this, you know. But these were the two toughest games of my life. |
I made an aggressive move and I bumped him. It was all in the heat of the battle. It wasn't intentional, but he didn't know that. I talked to him after the game and said I'd see him again. He's a good guy. |
I really don't pay that much attention to stats and stuff, but I do take a lot of pride in trying to be a complete player. I just try to do whatever I can to help us win games, whether it's scoring points, rebounding, blocking shots, passing, playing great defense, whatever it takes. |
I think every team has lapses during the season. I think we have come out of this tournament with two wins, and I don't think we played our best basketball. I think that's yet to come. |
