basketball beat college comebacks duke greatest history tops
I have been a part of one of the greatest comebacks in college basketball history when we beat Duke two years ago. This tops that.
against basketball chance defense great half offense ourselves redeem second shooting team took west
A chance to redeem ourselves. We just weren't ourselves in the Villanova game. They took us out of our offense and defense and in the second half we didn't get out on shooters as much as we could. If we do the same thing against West Virginia, it's going to be the same thing because they're a great three-point shooting team as well.
basketball bunch court far focusing good happening job letting matter outside people playing thoughts throughout throw worrying year
It's just a matter of us really focusing on what we need to do and not letting other outside things throw us off track. I know we've already experienced a bunch of things throughout this year with things happening outside the court and expectations and thoughts about what people should be doing and everything. I think so far we've done a really good job of playing basketball and not worrying about all that other stuff.
against basketball best college competition explore highest last level option played players skills testing three time
Over the last three years at Connecticut, I have played with, and against, the highest level of competition in college basketball. I feel now is the time for me to explore the option of testing my basketball skills against the best players in the world.
george mason minutes sure wants
We just want it so bad. I'm sure George Mason wants it just as bad. It's 40 minutes to Indianapolis.
chance lucky steal
We got lucky on that one. They didn't get a chance to steal that momentum.
couple keeps last team winning worry
Things just haven't been going my way the last couple of games, but, you know, as long as the team keeps winning that's all that really matters. We're doing well. We're 14-1 so I can't really worry about myself too much.
bouncing grit loss poise tough
The Villanova loss was tough but we showed a lot of grit and poise bouncing back from that game.
excuse good
There's really no excuse for it. We're too good a team.
excuse few foot heart last minutes
There's really no excuse for it. But also I think we showed a lot of heart in the last few minutes and put the foot back on the pedal.
definitely game gave needed people spark step
Rashad gave us a spark in the beginning. We had a lot of people step up tonight. This was definitely the kind of game where we needed everyone.
game physical proven running team throughout type year
There's going to be a whole lot of pushing, a whole lot of shoving, but that's the type of game that they like. We do play well in those type of games. We're a running team, but I think we've proven throughout this year that we can be a physical team as well. We're just going to have to prove it even more so.
wish
I wish I knew. Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened.
felt good time
It felt good to make a play like that at a time like that.
