afford against fresh people running stop team
When you get tired, especially in this game, get yourself out of there so we can have fresh people in at all times so we won't have to stop running or take a play off on defense. Against a team like Duke, you can't afford that.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
continue family guess half
My father's half of the family is from Maryland, so I guess that's the part that's in me. I continue to play well up here.
