maybe progress shows statement team
This shows we're making progress. This is one of the first times we put a team away. Maybe Oregon. But we really made a statement that we want to get better. And we are.
good obviously
This is obviously not a very good feeling.
looked needed obviously stay weird
They sprang it on us and it obviously worked. I think they were in kind of a weird zone. There were times when they were in a 1-3-1, it looked like, and times they were in a 2-3. They did everything they needed to do to stay in the game.
five halftime win
Someone told me I had five assists at halftime and I just laughed. It's nice, but the win is more important.

basketball beat emotional game ready senior
That's why I'm not so emotional about it. It's more of a basketball game than Senior Night. If we don't come out ready to play, they're going to beat us.
business care confidence hitting took
Dee was hitting everything. We had confidence in him and he took care of the business.
coach excited guys people taking
Coach has been on us. But the guys have been taking it pretty good. When you're winning, you kind of get cocky. You're like, 'Let's keep doing what we're doing.' Now people are more excited to learn. A lot of people are listening.
beat beats best character coach example gave good home keeping playing road run showing solid talks team win winning
Coach (Weber) always talks about how good of a team we can be. Like, he gave the example of how we beat Georgetown at home, and Georgetown beats Duke. I know it's a home win for us. But I think we're up there with some of the best teams. If we keep winning on the road and showing some character and keeping playing solid basketball, I think we can make a run at it.
coaches easier easy game maybe report scouting watch
That's fine. It's easy for us. We watch the same film and maybe the (last) game to see what we did right and wrong. The scouting report is the same. So it's easier on the coaches and easier on us.
final last special
Last year, there was a little more pressure. We're more of an underdog. We want to be special and get back to the Final Four.
felt last life
I felt like it was the last day of my life or something.
bend game hand hit hurt three weeks
It's just a new thing every day. I hurt my hand three weeks ago and had it X-rayed. Then I got it hit in the game (Saturday) and it swelled up again. I can't really bend it.
trust
It's frustrating because you want to be out there. But you have to trust your teammates.
