blow broke chance couple defense easy half miss offense ok people second seems stood time
It seems like every time we have a chance to blow people out we miss a couple of easy shots. Our defense was OK but our offense broke down way too early. The second half we kind of stood around a lot.
matter wish
It's frustrating. It doesn't matter how I played. I wish I hadn't scored and we had won.
awesome extremely looking nervous
It was awesome being out there, I was looking for that for a year. I was extremely nervous, but that's not unusual, I get nervous every game.
coming game knew league physical playing
That's part of getting used to this league. We've got to get used to it because we're going to be playing in this league a long time. We've got to adjust. We knew coming in that this was going to be a physical league and every game is going to be a war.
It's like going over the top. But that's what we like to do.
advantage ball college dad knows played post skilled
They say I'm skilled, ... I'm not just raw. I'm skilled in the post and I have an advantage there because my dad played college ball and knows what it takes.
continuing passing scoring starting
We're just starting to play like the way we want to play and the way we need to play, just getting up and down, scoring in the 70s and 80s. I think we're just passing real well and continuing to get better every day.
best broke country guess played team
We played with the best team in the country for 35 minutes, so I guess that does give us some confidence. We just kind of broke down at the end.
ball high position teammates within
I always set high expectations. I always try to play within my game. My teammates got the ball to me in position to score.
happy lost
We lost the game. I don't like losing. I'm not very happy right now.

He came out here three or four days after he was hired, ... I didn't know him that well, although Illinois had recruited me a little. He talked about his style and how he was.
anytime basketball foul good kentucky leave regardless taste team today whether
Regardless of whether I'm in foul trouble, we just didn't play well as a team. Kentucky outplayed us in every area. They were just the better basketball team today and anytime that happens, it's not going to leave a good taste in your mouth.
against backs coach determine doubt easier expect game gets hold home lose road schedule sure wall whether win
I think coach said it perfectly. Our backs are against the wall and now every game will determine whether we play in March. It doesn't get any easier from here, that's for sure. No doubt we can get better. We don't have any choice. The schedule gets tougher. You can't lose at home and expect to win the conference, so we've got to hold our own on the road and make sure we win at home.
best chance contribute good minutes
I think, hopefully, I'll get to play a lot, ... I think I have a pretty good chance to contribute right away. I'll contribute in any way I can. I mean, I won't play 35 minutes every night, but I'll contribute the best I can when I'm in there.
