basket closer definitely easy far helped
That definitely helped us out as far as getting closer to the basket and getting some easy buckets.
biggest bury screens
J.J. is a big-time player. He started off hot, but Marcus was able to get through the screens and be there on the catch. I think that's the biggest thing with J.J., because if you're not there on the catch, he'll look you down and he'll bury it right in your face. That was the biggest thing that Marcus did.
caliber knew left players
We know what we lost, and we know what we have. I knew the caliber of players we had left on this team.
game stop wins
We didn't really play our game today. That's something that we're going to have to stop doing if we're going to get big wins in the ACC.
both game track trying
We still feel like this is a big-time game. We've had some stumbles just as well as they have. We're both trying to get back on track and use this game as a booster.
forward looking
We still feel like this is a big-time game. We've been looking forward to this all season.
break coming fast good hard job key playing rookies running staying teammates
We're coming together. Playing hard is key for us and running the fast break is key for us. The rookies are coming in, the newcomers are coming in. We're doing a good job right now. My teammates are staying together, which is a good thing.
arms talking
He started talking to his arms and to the weights. He was just crazy.
bench extra finishing free gave great job lift running spark
Byron did a great job of running the floor, finishing and making some free throws. His lift off the bench gave us that extra spark that we needed.
attacked ball came definitely good half hometown locked second stepped turn
In the second half we came out and attacked more offensively and locked down on defense. We made them turn the ball over a lot more than we did. (Terry) definitely stepped up and made big shots. It was his hometown so he wanted to come up here and play good and he did.
ball bit break closer couple days decision drive finish game inside last mix offense people running send stronger time trying
That's a part of my game I've been working on the last couple of days in practice. I've been trying to drive the ball more and get inside and get closer to the rim and finish stronger that way. At times we're going to have to break off the offense and send the offense running through me. That decision is going to be up to me. I'm not going to try and do too much but at the same time I'm trying to mix it up a little bit so people won't know what's coming.
best national second winning
The feeling's just great. It's only second best to winning the national championship.
good knew last needed step team took
I knew my team needed me to step up, and at that time, I was getting some good looks. I just took them, and they went in. For the most part, that was their last run.
lost team
I'm lost for words. I have no idea what's really going on with this team right now. It's kind of tough. I really don't know what to say to these guys. I don't know. It just hurts.
