apologize ball character court number teammates trying win
First of all, I want to apologize to my coach, teammates and the organization. That was way out of my character and I was wrong. I was frustrated, thought I had been fouled a number of times trying to get the ball up the court and I just really wanted to win this game.
blake continue freshman fun game guys hopefully learned lots playing push since sophomore team understand year
Blake and I have been playing with each other since his freshman year and my sophomore year (at Maryland) so we have lots of fun playing with one another. We understand each other and the game. We've learned a lot since we've been in the game so hopefully we can continue to push the young guys on the team and hopefully we can continue to get better.
coach feels game good knowing last looking mark
It feels good going into each and every game knowing when you are going into the game, ... I know here, coach is looking to put me in around the three- or four-minute mark of the first quarter. Last year, I had no idea. You could never get a feel for the rotation.
basketball challenge defensive execute good guys hopefully learning principles supposed
I think guys are learning defensive principles and where they're supposed to be on the basketball court. So hopefully we can go out there and execute on the defensive end. It's a good challenge for us to see where we are.
came early effort energy excuse flat home maintained next rest run
We came out flat today. We have been at home for a while but it's no excuse for us to come out like we did. They went on an early run and maintained that energy the rest of the game. We have to come out with a better effort next game.
certain expect guys
Certain guys take it personal. If I need to do something better, I expect someone to come tell me, because I can take constructive criticism. I don' think a lot of us can take it.
came good looked watched
I was right there and watched the whole time. It looked good -- just came up short.
great guards point three top
Baron is one of the better guards in the league. He is probably one of the top three point guards. He is a great passer and he can also defend. ... He had a great day.
basketball demand double easy guy
It's easy looks. When you have a guy who's going to demand a double team, someone's going to get easy looks.
aggressive both came coach drew ends games guys heart last played six struggled
We've struggled the last six games not getting any wins, so we wanted to come out with a lot of heart and be aggressive on both ends of the floor. Guys came out and we executed. Before the game, coach ( Nate McMillan ) drew a big heart on the chalkboard. He wanted to see what we were made of. We came out and played well tonight.

We're growing up, man. We're growing up as a team. We're playing smart and we're solid for 48 minutes. Hopefully we'll keep on going in that direction.

We'll take the four in a row however we can get it.

I thought we turned the ball over a little too much, but it's something we can learn from.

Those guys are learning the game. They're playing with more confidence.
