areas coming plan student work
Hopefully, I can do it. I don't plan on going anywhere. I plan on coming back. I just feel like for me to get better I have to become a better student of the game. There are some areas I have to work on in my game.
court great kinda love rush seconds
We've got great fans, I didn't know they would rush the court with 1.7 seconds left. That was kinda crazy! But I love our fans.
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.
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.
win
I still feel like we have to get that win at Miami.
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.
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.
athletic duke problems team teams
We have a very athletic team and I feel like athletic teams give Duke problems.
effect game importance
We know the importance of this game and the effect it will have on us getting into the tournament.
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.
known league monkey team
It's very important for us. We're known as a team around the league that doesn't play well on the road. We have to get that monkey off our backs.
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.
