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.
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.
break chance forward gives looking spring teams year
It gives us a chance to play teams from around the country. I'm really looking forward to it. It's the first year we've done it, and usually during Spring Break we flatten off because we won't play.
defensive people presenting seems setting step strategies teams
Other teams are keying in on him, setting whole defensive strategies around him. That's presenting opportunities for other people to step up. It's amazing. It seems like every game, it's someone different.

We're real confident going into NCAA Tournament. We beat three real good teams coming into (Saturday).
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.
anxious bad coaches early eight fact goes man played playing teams
The coaches just told me to be patient. I get real anxious when I see teams are playing me man-to-man. Early on, I had a lot of bad turnovers. I think that goes to the fact that we hadn't played in eight days.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
