game since team thinking
I've been thinking about that game ever since before that game was over. I feel I have got something to prove, and I feel the team has the same thing on their mind.
came felt game good owed step team
We came into a must-win game and I felt like I owed it to my team to step up and have a good performance.
aggressive game hold motivated tried
It was a game that really motivated to me to get better. I got more aggressive and tried not to let little things hold me back.
best focus game stay trash
It's important to stay poised. It's going to be loud. There's going to be a lot of trash talking. We've got to focus on the game and play the best we can play.
came game provide second similar slow tried
This game was similar to the first one, really -- we started out slow but came on in the second half. I just tried to provide some leadership.
close games lose senior sure win
I want to win the game. I take it upon myself as a senior to make sure that we don't lose close games like we have in the past.
close couple free games happen hitting last lost sure throws tried upset win
Hitting free throws is something we have to do to win games. We were kind of upset because we lost the last couple of games by a close margin. We just tried to make sure that didn't happen again.
forth four lose mean ourselves past three trying weeks
That would mean a lot. These past three or four weeks we've been going back and forth trying to get ourselves at. 500 and then we'd lose, then get back to. 500 and then lose again. I think it would do a lot for us.
ball focusing paying trying
I won't be paying attention. I'll be focusing on the ball trying to win.
gotten people talented
I think people think we are very talented but haven't gotten over the hump, but I think we have now. I think we showed that tonight.
aggressive ball
We were more aggressive and got the ball to the interior.
bad coach defender grab heath knows maybe shot
I thought maybe the defender would grab my arm. He didn't. But coach (Stan) Heath didn't say anything. He knows I'm going to take a bad shot every once in awhile.
ball
We've got to make him put the ball on the floor.
except good hot looked man teammates took upstairs
I got hot for a 3 or 4-minute span. My teammates looked for me in transition. I took good shots, except the one off the backboard, the man upstairs put that one in.
