As soon as the game was over, guys were ready to get on the bus, get to BC. It shows the character of our team, to win at BC, a nationally ranked team, on the road. That's what great teams do, they're able to bounce back. |
He came in the next day and had his best practice of the year. He was the best player on the court that day. |
He was big for us down the stretch. |
He's able to find guys when they're open. And if they're not, he's open. He's going to score or get fouled. When you play with a big guy like that, it's a lot of fun. |
He's playing with a lot of confidence right now. |
I think it comes from great offense. If they don't give us that, somebody will have a wide-open basket at the rim. |
I think that was a key play in tonight's game. For them to hit a crazy shot like that and then us coming down and getting it right back was big. I got an open look and knocked it right down. |
I tip my hat off to them for a great comeback, but we were just able to close it out. |
I was telling my brother the other day that sometimes when I jump off of it and try to explode, I don't have the same explosiveness as I had before the injury. It's hard to say where I'm at right now, but it's feeling as good as it's going to feel. |
I'm pretty sure their coach got on them in the first half, telling them, 'Get out there, get on them, don't allow any open looks,' and they did a good job of that. They were able to stop a part of our offense that was going for us in the first half. |
In watching the tapes, I wasn't down in the stance on some of the shots I missed that I needed to make. That's what helped me tonight. Once I get in a groove, I close my eyes and shoot it sometimes. |
It gives us some extra confidence that is sort of hidden behind the fact that we are getting these wins. We know that we can play way better and we just go to practice, listen to coach and get better and better. |
It should have never come down to that. |
It was just a good team defensive effort ... we were just looking to keep in front of him and challenge his shot. |
It's not just this game. He's been here the last five seasons and that statement, that column, whatever it was, was foolish. We pay no mind to it. |
