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.
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.
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.
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.
feed game points position push sure teammates
They got me tired, but I had to push through it. There are points in the game where my teammates feed off me. I have to make sure I get back on defense, and just get in position where I can make plays.
boys few great guys job knew offensive open sending split teammates three
They've got some big boys that are very good. They were sending two or three guys at me, which was getting frustrating, so I knew I had to get offensive rebounds. The few times I was open for a split second, my teammates did a great job of getting me the ball.
ball difference inside main second stressed winning
We just really stressed getting the ball inside in the second half. We were all making plays. That was the main difference in us winning the game.
great guys means
We got so many guys from New York, and they know what it means to play there. It's just a great place to play.
defense forward game good last looking pride
We're going to try to have as good a game as last time. We take pride in our defense here. It's going to be a battle, but I'm looking forward to it.
bring
Every game, you have to bring it or you're going to lose.
add easily fuel game guys lost shows
We easily could have lost that game to Notre Dame. The way the young guys played, it just shows they're not going to give up. We don't want to lose. If we do, it'll add fuel to the fire.
church clothes ready sunday
We've got our church clothes ready for Sunday morning. You can write that down.
falling night played shots tough
That was a tough game. We played real hard. The shots just weren't falling tonight. It just wasn't our night.
age age-and-aging believe court experience joke leader position
We joke with him about his age a lot, but it's no joke that he's our No. 1 leader on and off the court with his experience and wisdom. I don't believe we'd be in the position we are without him.
