felt good leaving open time
I had an open look. I felt that was as good a time as ever. It felt good leaving my hand.
bad good win
We didn't play as well as we usually have been playing, but it's a win. We're on the road. If you can play bad and win on the road, you're a pretty good team.
ball best credit defensive good offensive run share surprised
They're a good team. They share the ball well, they run good offense, they've got good players. It wasn't our best defensive or offensive game. That surprised me, but there's nothing you can do. You give them credit and we didn't have it today.
basketball good quick rebound time
We want to take our time and get good shots. You take a quick shot, they get the rebound and they're off to the races. That's not something we want happening.
bad good win
If you can play bad and win on the road, you're a pretty good team.
bit confidence duke good lost obviously played road team time undefeated won
I think they were a little bit surprised. We hadn't won on the road yet, they were undefeated at home. We lost to Duke by 53, they lost to them by four. But we have confidence that we're a good team. We're obviously a different team from the time we played at Duke.
good knowledge life man program
He's done so much for me. He's good for the program and does everything in life by the book. He's a good man with a good knowledge of basketball, but more importantly, he's just a very good man.
effort finally forth good playing
We've finally put things together. We just had to put forth the effort and show people. Now we're playing well and getting some recognition, it makes you feel good about yourself.
carried definitely gave hold knew maybe onto picked second start state string strong teams wins
(The N.C. State win) gave us a lot of confidence. It definitely carried over, because when we were down at halftime, we got a real strong start in the second half, and we knew we could hold onto it. Maybe we'll get some recognition and start to string on some wins and be one of the teams picked to make the tournament.
against ask backup coming dream entire guard junior opportunity points shot since year
It's really been a dream come true. Ever since I made that shot against Shabazz my junior year (ironically, the only points he scored in that entire game) and then coming here and being a backup point guard to now, it's unbelievable. It really is a dream come true. I couldn't ask for a better situation, a better opportunity than that.
college dying fans living
The fans living and dying with every play, every shot, that's why you play college basketball.
early forgot happened loss moved team time
We moved on from that loss a long time ago. It happened early on in the season, we're a different team now. We really forgot about it.
built strong tonight
We feel we've built a strong enough resume. You can't let tonight take that away.
finished key regular seven strong top wins year
We feel we have a strong enough resume. We finished in the top seven in our league. We had key wins this year ... you can't take anything away from what we did in the regular season.
