games good home ncaa ourselves position team tournament
I feel the team as a whole realizes how important this is, getting these home games and try to put ourselves in a good position so we can get an NCAA Tournament bid.
focus knew offense scholars-and-scholarship tough
We just never got our offense going. We knew it was going to be tough and we didn't focus like we should have.
felt knee warming
My knee felt great. I did a lot of warming up. Once it got loose, it felt great.
hard learn tough
To play this hard and this well and still not win, that's tough to take. We'll try to learn from this and get better.
attacking instead jump pulled settled soon
We settled for a lot of jump shots. As soon as we got an opening, got a little daylight, we settled for jump shots. We pulled up instead of attacking the paint.
looking team type
We're looking to go on a run. We feel like we have the type of team that can get on a roll.
win
I still feel like we have to get that win at Miami.
attack good hard knee red
Part of it was the knee and part of it (was) they did a good job. They had their zone, which was very hard for me to attack and get in the red zone.
ball happened turned
It happened so quick. We turned the ball over, they made threes on the other end, and just like that we're out of the game.
biggest build challenge definitely guys ncaa next
I think that's the biggest challenge because we definitely thought we were in the NCAA Tournament. Guys really don't want to be in the NIT, but it's something to build on for next year.
celebrate rush trying
I was just trying to celebrate with the fans. I didn't know they were going to rush the court.
easily felt great looking score win
Looking back on the (Boston College) game, we could have easily won. It felt great to go out and score 37 points, but overall, it was a disappointment, because we did not win the game.
against miami seal win
I feel like we have to go down to Miami and seal the deal. We have to get this win against Miami.
consider
I feel like to not even consider it would be stupid. But I feel like I'll be back.
