against finding great job players teammates
My teammates did a great job finding me. They were just finding me and I was converting. I should have made some more. It's nothing against (Providence), it's just that we have great players to play with.
east goals round
One of our goals is to get a bye in the first round of the Big East Tournament.
defense lack looks maybe missed
Maybe it was a lack of our defense. They got a lot of wide-open looks and they missed a lot of wide-open looks, too.
biggest continue felt free game practice since team throws weakness
I felt confident. Ever since the Marquette game, every day I've been working on my free throws before and after practice with the coaches. Apparently, I just need to continue working on it. It's probably the biggest weakness in my game right now. I let my team down.
best declare draft experience great help interest learning nba process provide
I feel that it is my best interest to declare for the NBA draft. The draft process will provide a great learning experience and will help me become a better player.
good open people team
We got a lot of people out on their shooters and didn't give them many open looks. We think we're a good man-to-man team and we can be physical.
against confidence east games great ncaa playing teams tournament
We got a lot of confidence from it and it's something we're going to use in the NCAA tournament. The Big East tournament is a lot like the NCAA tournament. You're playing games back-to-back. You're playing against great teams every night.
bit needed playing possession win
We got a little bit away from what we wanted to do. We were playing like we needed to win on that one possession and you can't do that.
games learned prepare season stay stuff type
There is so much stuff I can take away from this season and go back and look at. I learned about how to better prepare myself for each game, what I need to do on off-days, the type of stuff I need to do in between games so I stay fresh.
guys hate takes whatever willing
This team, we're winners. We hate to lose. We don't know how to lose. We have 13 guys who are willing to do whatever it takes to win.
emphasis game lead obviously post
We wanted to put the emphasis on our post game with Padgett out. We did that. We obviously got out to a big lead because of that.
counting knew teammates time true
True story. I knew my time was coming. I knew my teammates were going to be counting on me. I didn't want to let them down.
defense great help key leave missed open shots watched
We watched a lot of film on him. He's a big key to their offense. When you're guarding him you can't leave him or he'll get an open shot. I also got great help defense from my teammates, and he missed some shots too. The combination is why he went scoreless.
came country teams tough
Two tough teams went at it and they just came out on top. They're not the No. 1 team in the country for nothing.
