came east fighting game good guys job last scholars-and-scholarship typical wins
This is a typical Big East game. Even this game came right down to the last shot. The guys did a good job fighting back. It's going to be like this day-in and day-out. There's no gimme wins in this conference.
achievement biggest coaches compliment gave great reason support teammates
It's a great achievement. It's a great compliment to my team. I couldn't have done it without them. The support the coaches and my teammates gave me is probably the biggest reason this happened.
lose season
It's another season now. We know where we stand: You lose and you're done.
against finished goes people team tough
A lot of people didn't think we'd be where we're at. A lot of people were criticizing the way we finished the season. They thought we could have come in here and been one and done against Louisville. Just goes to show how tough this team is.
against best competition forward great guys looking playing post problem
That's when I play my best, against the best competition. Sometimes my problem is playing against guys who don't have much of a post presence. It will be a great challenge. I'm looking forward to it.
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.
coach hard people year
Obviously, it was a big concern. For the juniors, the people who only have one year left, it's sometimes hard to get a new coach and have a new system.
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.
control definitely easy games good left teams
We definitely feel like we control our own destiny, but at the same time, we don't feel there are any easy games that we have left. We still have a lot of good teams left to play, but we definitely feel like we're good enough to get through it.
beat country team
We beat the No. 2 team in the country that got a No. 1 seed. Our expectations were higher.
either poor strong teammates
Yeah, either that or I have to make a better move. When my teammates did find me, I wasn't strong with the ball. I made too many poor decisions.
bad ball decisions guys seemed three time touched turned
Every time I touched the ball it seemed like there were two or three guys around me. I made bad decisions and turned the ball over.
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.
