business care confidence hitting took
Dee was hitting everything. We had confidence in him and he took care of the business.
gets gonna hits screens starts swagger
Once he starts hitting, you just set screens for him and he does the rest. When he hits a big shot, he gets that swagger and you just know it's gonna happen.
against crowd gets hit michigan played
Against Michigan State, we just played lackadaisical. Here, it's a different setting. You hit one shot, and the crowd gets into it.
active against carrying energy hit pressure takes time
Being more active takes a lot of the pressure off Dee. He's been carrying us lately. I wanted to come out with energy and hit the boards. I didn't play well the first time against them.
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.
focused job
We focused on him a lot, but we're going to have to do a better job than that from here on out.
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.
battle game guys percent realize starting
Every game is going to be a battle and you have to play 100 percent every time. I think the young guys are starting to realize that.
careers lose means ready
We lose one more game, we're going home, and that means Dee and I, our careers are over. We have to come ready to play as a team.
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.
fun
It doesn't feel good. It was a fun ride, but right now it doesn't feel that good.
bad gives home lost motivation players team
Some of the players on our team have never lost at home. Dee (Brown) and I have only lost once, and that was a pretty bad feeling. It gives us motivation to win.
bit led sucked
I think we just sucked it up a little bit and one thing led to another.
everybody fed knew led looked scoreboard step
I think we just looked at the scoreboard and knew we had to step it up a little bit. One thing led to another, and everybody kind of fed off of one another.
