emotional watching win
I got emotional just watching them. I know one day my day is coming, I just wanted to win for them.
deep took
When it rimmed out, I took a deep breath. I thought it was going in.
threw
We didn't come to play, we got what we deserved. We threw it all over the gym. It wasn't one person. I wasn't there mentally.
beat supposed team
We didn't come to play and we got what we deserved. There's no way that team is supposed to beat us by 17 or 18 points. I'm disappointed in myself.
five hold looked saw seconds time took
I didn't know how much time was on the clock. I was going to hold it for one shot. Then I looked up and saw five seconds left, so I just took off with it.
couple games gave last nobody playing ready step
He told me, 'You have to step up, you haven't been doing it, it's not the Devan I know.' But he used some different words. He had me ready to play. The last couple of games I've been playing bad, but nobody gave it to me like he gave it to me. I wanted to show up.
carolina feeling gut south
I just had a gut feeling that South Carolina was the place for me.

I hope whoever gets the job gets some people to play around me, because we're going to need a whole lot of help here next year.
basketball college control far guard guards people players post takes tempo trying
In college basketball, you can only go as far as your guard play takes you. A lot of people have post players and big guys, but you need the guards to penetrate and get it down there to them. I just think guards control the tempo of the game. That's what I'm trying to do.
backs cincinnati couple decent fans fill good people screwed support thinks turn
The fans still support us, everyone thinks we got screwed a little bit. I think we'll have a decent crowd. We should fill up a couple of seats. I think the fans of Cincinnati are good enough people to support us and not turn their backs on us.
confidence game needed
I just needed a game to get my confidence back. We can't give up on each other.
explosive figured knew
I knew Padgett wasn't an explosive shot-blocker, so I figured I could get it to the rim.
finally glad pick practice talk team
I'm ready, and as a team we're ready. We talk about it all the time. I'm glad it's finally here. We know we've got to pick everything up, pick practice up and just play.
calming mistake teammates trusting worried
I'm just calming down and playing. My teammates are trusting me. I'm not so worried that I'm going to make a mistake and they're going to be mad.
