averaged brian everybody looking losing open points
It was a big change. It's a whole lot more open now. Brian averaged 16 points for us, and losing that, we have to make up for it. Everybody was looking to be more aggressive.
charter personally plane speaking truly year yell
It was rough, but he was speaking truly about how we were playing. I think personally when you get back and you've got a charter plane and you get $30,000 a year for your education, he's got a right to yell at us.
helps points
That helps a lot. We have to make up points for Thornton.
awkward feeling funny spot
It's a funny feeling without him being there. He sits in the same spot every day, and he's not there. It's kind of awkward for us now.
downs memorable season tough ups
We had a tough season -- we had a lot of ups and downs -- but at the end, it was memorable for us.
focused game hard keeping name staying year
We've been working hard the whole year just to get our name out there. But we're staying focused and keeping it one game at a time.
appreciate
That's just me. I didn't know what to say. But I really did appreciate it.
heart misses shut
You're not going to shut him out. You have to play your heart out and hopefully, he misses some shots.
hard shut tried
You're not going to shut a person like that out, so I just tried to make things hard for him.
anybody coach loss miller seen takes
Coach Miller takes it so hard. I've never seen a person take a loss so hard. I've never seen anybody take it so hard.
hard until
I was a freshman; I didn't know anything about that tournament. I didn't really know how hard it would be until it was over. Really hard.
everybody fear gives giving respect talks
I respect him, but everybody talks about the fear factor. There's nothing like that. If he gives me 50 (points), and we win, it's whatever. If he gives me 50, and we lose, I'm still going to be giving my best.
best harder knowing
Going into the tournament, knowing what's at stake, we were going to do our best and try to play harder than we had. In that tournament, we showed a lot of heart.
coming
He's a lot bigger, so he can get in there for the rebound. B.J. is not going to back off anybody. Him coming into the game, he's gong to be aggressive. That's what we need.
