deserved forget guys people ready upset win
We've got to forget about it and get ready for the NIT. The way I feel, we've got to go out and play and win it to show people we deserved to be in the (NCAA) tournament. The guys are upset now, but come Friday, we'll be ready.
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.
gave referee trying
I was just trying to make a play. I didn't think he was set, but the referee gave him the call.
ahead besides four playing seniors
I think they need to go ahead and give it to him, just for recruiting. What are we playing, besides me, we have four seniors playing 20-plus minutes. And then there's me and (junior Cedric McGowan). You have to look to the future.
break confidence wall wrong
I'm speechless. I'm so disappointed in myself. It's just a wall. I've got to find a way to break that wall and come out. My confidence is there, I'm just not playing. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm just not playing.
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.
hard people prove round wrong
It's hard to get up for the NIT. But, we can't prove people wrong if we can't get out of the first round of the NIT. We're still here battling.
ball call committee hard might selection
It's hard to get up for the NIT, but after the ball jumped up, we've got to play. It's not like the selection committee is going to call us and tell us to sub for somebody. We're already here, we might as well play.
gets help hope job next people whoever
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.
games three
I've got to put two games together, put three games together, just play.
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.
game homecoming spot
They was on me pretty heavy, but I didn't think it was a right spot for me. Being a home-state team, you know I cheered for them a little bit, but not that much. It's a homecoming game for me.
