good job ourselves proving
We did a good job of proving ourselves today.
ball bank feeling felt good knew time
It started feeling good after the bank shot, and I kind of knew it was my night. After that, the ball started feeling really good in my hands. It felt like everything I let go was going to go in, and most of the time it did.
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.
felt good high realistic
I had high expectations for this team. I felt we could be good and we had realistic goals.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
