attention east game less longer pay rooting teams winning
We pay attention a little bit. I'm rooting for our Big East guys. For every game we keep winning there are less and less teams playing. The longer we can play, the better.
defensive focus halftime hang hold lead past push talked team teams though
We wanted to focus on the defensive end of the floor. When you hold a team to 49 points, that's always pretty good. The thing we really talked about at halftime was even though we were up 12, in past games, the 12 went to 10 and 8, and we let those teams hang around. We wanted to push that 12-point lead to 15 and 18, and concentrate on attacking.
game great hanging love opportunity point season sneakers teams
A lot of teams at this point in the season are hanging up their sneakers and we get the opportunity to keep playing. For a lot of us, it's a game we love to play so the NIT is a great opportunity to have some fun.
teams
In a lot of ways, our teams are similar.
energy games ourselves pick reevaluate team time
We were pretty soft. We were not the team we had been in some of the games where we were battling. It was time for us to reevaluate ourselves and pick the energy up.
ball ended hands
I wanted the ball in my hands to make a big play and it ended up costing us.
carries coming huge team
Every game's huge for us. But with a top-10 team coming in here, this one carries a lot of weight.
good
We're a good team. We just have to get over the hump.
hopefully people played
I thought I played pretty well and hopefully other people thought that too.
boards halftime pushing talked
Man, I was in there squeezing some boards down. We talked a lot at halftime to keep pushing it and keep getting better.
almost came fought gave hard played second
We never gave up. We came back and played better in the second half, fought hard and almost won.
averages counting four guys key night returning score
Those are the four guys we're counting on to score for us. We're returning four guys with averages in the 70s, and that's key in golf. Definitely, we're going to be counting on those four guys to score for us -- night in and night out.
chance gave ourselves stay win
We've got to stay positive. We battled. We gave ourselves a chance to win at the end.
choked found four seeing
I found myself getting choked up a little bit. Seeing all the fans, seeing everything I've been through for four years just going through my head.
