ball gave knocking teammates
My teammates gave me the ball and I was just knocking them down.
chances hurts shot
I just wasn't hitting. My shot was off. When my shot is off, it hurts my chances of scoring, and that's what happened.
limiting physical playing stuff teams touches trying
They just weren't going in today, you know? Teams are playing a lot more physical and limiting my touches and trying to make me do stuff I don't want to do.
finally fired kept
I kept shooting. Finally one went in for me. I didn't see the goal. I just fired it up there.
ball catch coming continuing easy harder main move moving standing
I'm focused, and I'm ready. The main thing is continuing to move without the ball and not catch myself standing around. When I'm standing around, I'm easy to guard. But when I'm moving and coming off screens, I'm harder to guard.
both coach fun teams
It was not fun at all. If we're hitting, and they're missing, that's something, but when both teams are hitting, that's not real fun for us because we know Coach is going to let us know about our defense.
felt good
It was a good look, but he was all up on me. It still felt good.
until
I've got to have rings. If you want me to be happy, I want a championship. That's when I'll be happy. Until then, I'm not happy.
earlier learn next ready run toward
We didn't make that run like we were earlier in the season. I don't know what it was. It just wasn't there toward the end of the season. We can learn from this and be ready for next year.
against beginning cost
At the beginning of the game, they really put it on us and that cost us. We can't do that against Florida, or they'll do the same thing to us.
basketball nice recruit
It would have been nice for them to recruit me, but I really didn't care. I just wanted to play basketball somewhere.
executing felt hard home plays protect supposed win
This is Rupp Arena. It's hard to win up here. I think they felt like they had to win. This their home court, and you're supposed to protect your home court. But we never give up. We just keep executing plays and doing what we've got to do to win the game.
I was going to do something that I probably shouldn't have done.
hitting hung nobody team
Nobody was hitting shots, and they were hitting a lot of shots. But we hung in there. This team doesn't give up.
