best control game hitting shooting tried
We tried to take away what they do best and that is shooting 3's. They can really control a game if they are hitting them and take you out of your flow.
against capable game great hopefully job ourselves proving today
We did a great job of proving ourselves today against a very capable team. Hopefully, we won't be on the (NCAA) fence. But if we are, hopefully this will be a game they look at.
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.
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.
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.
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.
break definitely emerging gives guys last leaders looking shook step stretch
Other guys started talking, and I just shook my head. That kind of gives me a break sometimes, when other guys step up and say things and aren't just looking at me. Other leaders are emerging on this team, and that's something we're definitely going to need, especially going down this last little stretch that we have.
players type
Big players show up in big times games. That's the type of player he's been all year.
beginning best guards hurt knocking open presence rotation shots
At the beginning of the game, it was just me on him. At times, we would double, and our rotation wasn't the best it should be. Their guards were getting open shots and knocking them down. That hurt us just by his presence in there.
good job ourselves proving
We did a good job of proving ourselves today.
experience glad people
Man, it was a blast. I'm glad I was here for it. I got to experience it, and a lot of people don't.
confidence drop needed virginia
I wouldn't say we were desperate, but it was very much needed for us. Especially after the confidence drop that we had after the Virginia game.
continue grow last team work
I don't know. For the most part, we've just got to continue doing what we do and doing what we've been doing for the last part of this season. We've got to continue to grow as a team and as individuals to make everything continue to work the way it's been working.
