cut open wide
It was wide open every time. Just cut to the rim, and it was right there.
beat harder means prove teams
I don't feel any more pressure, but we know teams are going to try and come at us harder because we're No. 1 and they want to prove they can beat the No. 1 team. But I like that. It means they are going to play harder and that's going to make us play harder and it's going to make us better.
ball boxed free knew man matter missed mistake nobody
On the first one, I knew my man didn't want the ball as much as I did. I was going to get it no matter what. When I missed my free throw, they made a mistake and nobody boxed me out and it was right there for me.
ability body confidence definitely knack playing smart
I have a lot of confidence in my shot-blocking ability. It's definitely timing, and you have to be smart enough to keep your body away. I have a knack for it. I always like playing defense.
best good looked points protect saw scoreboard short smile took whenever
I feel really good right now. Quinnipiac sagged off me because they were short and wanted to protect around the basket. So I took a lot of jumpers and they fell. Whenever I was open, I made the best of it. At one point, I looked at the scoreboard and saw 20 points by my No. 11. That put a big smile on my face.
bad break fast game playing putting running
At first we were rushing, putting up bad shots. Then we slowed it down and got into our offense, and started running the fast break and playing our game pretty good.
hyped late
It's a late game. Everyone is going to be hyped for that game. It's going to be something to watch.
far last won
It's not the last game. It's far from our last game. We've won over 100 games. We know how to win. We're just going to keep winning.
came coach game move time took
I took my time and coach told me to take my time and see what I have, make the move when I'm around the rim. So it just came...It was like the game came to me today.
point reached
It was our mistake. I think we've reached a point where we have everything under control.
everybody expressing good happy people wrong
Everybody has their own personality. I'm kind of happy it's the way it is. With too many people expressing their emotions, things could flare up, things could go the wrong way. Right now we have a good balance.
head
Can't head out there too cocky. Just play like we need the win.
backing coach coaching forcing frustrated good helped instead job knew lose playing saw today
It helped us a lot because we knew he wasn't mad. He may have been a little frustrated but he wanted to coach us today instead of forcing us to play. He saw we were playing for him, playing as a team. A lot of times when you lose poise, you lose focus. Today he was backing us up. I thought he did a very good job coaching us through this one. Very good.
bully couple scary stepped tonight
He stepped up big for us tonight ... tremendous. The rebounds, the baskets, he was a beast. To me, he?s the bully of the Big East, and he?s just a freshman. It?s going to be scary to see him in a couple of years.
