average chance coming guys higher players slight stepped three
It wasn't anything like a slight to me. Those were just the facts. We got a chance to let other players play this year, and guys stepped up. Now if they say 'I'm coming back,' my average would be a lot higher than three points.
best head nerve player stay
It was nerve racking. But at the same time, you just want to go out and do the best that you can. For the most part, just try to stay the same player that you've been all year. Don't try to do anything over your head or try to do anything spectacular.
calm coach job last people satisfying season sit teach team watch williams year
It's so satisfying to know we could do things some people didn't think we could. In some ways, Coach Williams is doing a better job with this team than he did last season. I mean, last season he could sometimes sit back and watch the show. This year he is more calm and has had to teach more. And it has shown.
foul great performance trouble
I told him that we were going to come down here and get us one. But he had a great performance tonight. He got me in foul trouble early, so I couldn't play him like I wanted to.
arizona beginning couple game guys last playing slide taken though trying
We've taken a slide the last couple of games. We're trying to get back to where we were at the beginning of the season. We're trying to get guys having fun, concentrate on doing the right things during the game and playing hard. Even though it's Arizona (and not an ACC team) it's a big game for us confidence-wise and to get back on track.
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.
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.
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.
exactly fearless game
They're going in fearless because they have no idea what to expect. They go out and play their game and do exactly what we need them to do.
came definitely half second shot
That was a big shot for us, and then when we came out in the second half we just came out with that much more firepower, and I think that definitely put us over the hump.
nights
You're going to have nights when you don't play as well. We just have to not fold.
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.
