You either get better or worse, and I feel like we got better as a team. I think we're starting to push the ball a little more in transition, which we haven't been doing the last few games, and that's just good for our team.
It's a big part of our game. When the ball gets in, we want to get it out.
That's something that our team can't have. We've just got to take care of the ball (tonight). I think it was just trying to make plays that weren't there, maybe forcing things a little bit.
We've just got to adjust. We've seen zone before. It's all about ball movement and attacking through the middle, and I feel like as the game went on, we did a better job doing that.
I think we're blocking out. We're just not jumping to get the ball as quickly as we can.
We made up our mind that we had to start going after loose balls and finish out possessions.
We don't get bored, though. We just love playing ball. And every time I play ball I try to win.
I feel like our guys just figured it out. They figured out that they had to go after loose balls and finish out possessions.
I mean, it was like that. We're used to playing against bigger players and stronger players. But we had to come in and just get the job done.
I knew I wasn't going to come in here and get 20 rebounds. Boxing out a guy like him is really a tough job.
Everybody was really excited, but we all know what time it is. We all know that this is just the beginning.
The best part is you always have friends around, no matter what. It's either one, two or all three of them. You always have somebody to be with or walk to class with or just hang out and talk.
That has nothing to do with it, that was last year. It is exciting to play against Villanova, and we're looking forward to it.
Against a team like this, you're going to get 10 or 15 blocks the way we play, but we know we're not going to do that against an SEC team, so it's just something that happens, I guess.
