beat great knocked last ohio state year
It'd be great to play Ohio State again. They beat us last year and knocked us out.
knew ohio saw state tennessee
I knew it was between us and Ohio State once I saw Tennessee was in, but it just didn't go our way.
gives national win
We thought we could win the national championship before every one of our games. I think this just gives us more confidence.
coaches coming energy excited played stressed
Our coaches just stressed for us to have energy coming out. I get really excited when I get played one-on-one because I'm so used to being doubled.
everybody happy monkey
I was the first to say we got the monkey off our backs. Everybody was really happy about that win.
came defense good great job played
I think we came out really well. We were intense, played great defense and I think we did a good job offensively too.
ball doubling gave room spread teammates worked
My teammates were just getting me the ball in the right places. Sometimes they were doubling up on me, but we worked on that in practice. We were really spread out, so that gave me a lot of room to work.
ball coaches inside places size teammates trusted
My teammates were getting me the ball in the right places and our coaches just trusted me to get the ball inside because of we had size advantage.
against definitely duke fear monkey
That was definitely a monkey off our backs. Now that fear against Duke is gone.
block coaches
I wasn't even going to go to the basket. One of the coaches told me to get to the block and I'm saying, 'This isn't going to work.
rebound speed stop transition
We have to rebound and stop their transition game. Their speed is incredible.
against duke fear finally win
We finally got that win off, and I think that fear against Duke is just gone.
care time
We had a lot of turnovers (26), but we told each other to relax. We wanted to take our time and take care of the ball.
games happened last passing people players playing teammates
We don't have one or two players who can score. We have five. It just happened in the last games that people were playing me 1-on-1 a lot. My teammates were so unselfish. They were passing me the ball.
