focused last lost year
We're focused on N.C. State. The way we lost last year ...
hard mindset
We had the mindset that we were going to play hard from the beginning. We were not going to get down by 20.
felt great sweet worst
The worst was probably the one here at home. It was a great environment, and I just felt like if we were going to get to the sweet 16, it had to be that year. It was our time. ... It just felt like we were unstoppable.
knew stepped
Everyone stepped up. Everyone knew we had to make up for it.
chipping game improvement ready vast
We made a vast improvement in our game plan. We were focused. We were ready to play. We're chipping away at this.
bags last time tv
I don't even think we unpacked our bags last year. We didn't want to lose. We wanted to go to the mall, look around a little, get some TV time in.
good unfamiliar
It was a good 'ah' though. They're not an unfamiliar team.
great
It's a great opportunity. We don't really have anything to lose.
create game half second stuff tried work
I tried to let the game come to me, but sometimes that doesn't work for me. In the second half I was more aggressive. I tried to create stuff for myself and my teammates.
rebound steal
That's what we do. We play defense, get the steal or the rebound and we're gone. I think it complements us.
good known
This is the end of my career. I want to be known as a good player.
