played
I thought we really played about as well as we could play in the first half.
break carolina charleston christmas coming east good hopefully leading nice playing practices shore throughout tournament until win year
We are having a pretty good year. The year started off great. It was a nice tournament win for us. Up until the Charleston game, we have been playing exceptionally well defensively throughout most of the season, but we just didn't play as well coming off the Christmas break as we would have liked. Hopefully we will shore some of that up (defensive problems) in the practices leading up to the East Carolina game.
guarded overly particular
We didn't do anything in particular that was overly ingenious, we just went out there and guarded them.
great seems
They're a great spurt team. Especially when they play here, they can get on a 10-point run. And often that seems to be the difference.
best decision difficult interest pursue
This has been a very difficult decision for me to make, however, I feel it is in the best interest of my family, my career, and myself to pursue a new opportunity.
ball carolina days defend east gave hard helped last lost needed open prepared team worked
I thought our team was ready. I would have never anticipated this. We worked hard the last two days and it didn't show. We lost it completely in the first half. East Carolina was better prepared and a better team today. We just didn't defend the ball as well as we needed and we over helped at times and gave open looks.
answer asked guard john knew point somebody switch tough
John is as tough as it comes. At one point during the game, I asked him if he wanted to switch off and guard somebody else for a while. He glared back and me, so I knew what his answer was.
america john longer loose player scar season tough uglier
John is as tough as any player in America. He dives for every loose ball. He has stitches in his chin. He has a scar on his forehead. I tell him the longer the season goes, the uglier he gets.
john player tough
John is as tough as any player in America.
game happen lost
We lost the game because we didn't get stops. Down the stretch, you've got to get stops. That's something we've done all year, and it didn't happen (Thursday night).
bird five larry looked
He looked like Larry Bird out there for the first five minutes.
became half second shooting
The second half was a little awkward, there were so many fouls called it became a free-throw shooting contest.
against experience guys help hopefully played team
Hopefully that experience will give our guys confidence. Hopefully it will help that they played against a big-name team and played well.
both crowds everybody excited fans game glad great happy heat rivalry talking worked
I am very happy about it and excited about it. I am glad we were able to get it worked out. I think it's a great game for everybody involved. You will have great crowds at both arenas. I know the fans down here are really excited about it and talking a lot about the game. I don't think it will take long for the rivalry to heat back up.
