crazy east fifth four game games home road spot win
It's crazy in the East because are all one game away from being in the four spot or two games away from being in the fifth spot. It's impertinent that we win these games at home and show up on the road with a lot of energy.
beating coming confidence couple earlier felt game gave home season win
Beating them earlier in the season at home gave us confidence coming into the game tonight. We felt like we were only a couple of possessions away from getting a win tonight.
winning
Right now we're winning games. That's all that matters.
along beat felt game games hump night tonight tough trying win
It was big, yeah, but we felt all along that we were going to win this game -- all night long. We've been trying to get over the hump on the road. We've had some tough losses, games we thought we should have won. Tonight we weren't going to let someone beat us.
came good hurt losing maybe opportunity win
I just wanted to win the game. It hurt losing to them out there like that. It was an opportunity for us to get a win, and we came up short, so it's good to get a win here. Maybe we can get something started from it.
adversity beautiful chemistry coming early seeing starting starts winning
I just think that chemistry is always big, and once chemistry starts coming together, it's a beautiful thing. Now you're seeing it. We went through a lot of adversity after winning early on, and now we're starting to roll.

If that's where they need me to play to win basketball games, then so be it. I'm still a starter in my own mind. I'm just going to produce and get it done.
basketball win
We've got to have it. Anyway, anyhow. We're going to win this basketball game.
asked bench coach felt injury needed obviously opportunity stretch win
If Coach needed me to come off the bench to be successful, I was going to do that. Obviously we went through a stretch in which we didn't win games, and with the injury to Jarvis Hayes, he told me I had the opportunity to start. He asked me how I felt about it, and I said, 'If the team's going to be better with me starting, I'll all for it.' And we've been good. We're 3-1.
looks
I like how this looks on me, ... I think I can get used to this.
beginning difference focus playing scholars-and-scholarship starting trusting turning year
That has been our focus all year and now we're starting to feel comfortable playing defense. We have to keep turning it up. I think the difference is that we're trusting each other more than we did at the beginning of the season.
bit fan mentality support took
The fan support may have been a little bit better in Storrs. But we still took the mentality in Hartford that this is our court.
arrived excited family fit future good great happy knowing situation time
I'm just happy because this is such a great situation for me and my family, ... I know a good fit when I see one and from the time I arrived here in Washington, the organization has made me and my family feel so welcome. I'm excited about knowing that my future will be with this team.
