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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
best national second winning
The feeling's just great. It's only second best to winning the national championship.
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.
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.
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 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.
definitely fans mean satisfying wins
We've had some big wins on the road, and this was definitely satisfying for us -- to see their fans leave. Especially as mean as they are.
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.
players type
Big players show up in big times games. That's the type of player he's been all year.
