ability basket buy confidence drives guys half hard knock mix open shooting sit
Personally, I don't like shooting a lot of 3s. I want to get some drives to the basket and do some other things. You can sit out there and shoot 3s all game, easy. It's hard for me to buy into that. I want to mix it up some because I have the ability to. At the same time, we have guys who can really knock down the 3s. It made you not want to shoot any more 3s in the first half because we weren't making them, but open shots, you've got to have that confidence you can knock them down.
expectation free knock line throws
When you go to the line with a sense of urgency, there's more of an expectation to knock those free throws down.
defense gets knocking lets outside rest takes wind
When we're knocking them down, it gets frustrating for the defense. When we're not knocking them down, it kind of takes the wind out of us, and it lets the defense rest when all you take is outside shots.
game thinking
Immediately after the game, all I was thinking about was this game.
believe
I kind of blanked out. I couldn't believe it was over.
confidence earlier game passed shot twice
I had that same shot earlier in the game -- I think I had it twice -- but I passed it up. I have confidence in that shot.
breath complete deep game georgia good guess kinda team tech type work
It was a complete game. It was good to have this type of game and take a deep breath. We can kinda take a deep breath and feel good about the work we put in this week. We really had to do some self-searching, I guess you could say, about our team after that Georgia Tech loss.
definitely second
It's definitely a sense of relief. We made it to the second round.
coach david great providing shows sure tough
It just shows how tough that they are. They're well prepared, they have a great coach and they have great players. I'm sure David Noel and their other upperclassmen are providing leadership.
nervous pulled rattled roller
It was just a roller coaster. We didn't really get rattled or get nervous or anything like that. We just pulled together.
changed defensive guys hard man proper strong teams work zone
They changed their defensive sets, from a man to a zone to a 1-3-1, and we made the proper adjustments. You've got to make those guys work hard on defense. A lot of times, we let other teams off the hook. We've got strong guards, and we need to use them.
came competing loss needed start
We weren't really over that loss when we came back. We needed to start competing better and do the things we need to do to win.
behind happen learn opportunity
We had our opportunity. We got the stop, and I had a shot, and I thought I was going to make it. I thought it would be like Clemson all over again. But it didn't happen. And it didn't happen for a reason. So we need to learn from this, and we need to put it behind us.
family state
At this place, we're used to it. Fans, media, family. The State thing has been like that for a long time.
