carried changed depend freshman lead players points screen since three whatever
My freshman year, we could really depend on three players that kind of carried us. We could screen or do whatever we were asked. Now, we have to try to lead and put some points on the board. It's changed a lot since our freshman year.
effort minutes
We got a chance, 40 minutes away from actually making it to the Tournament. We'll need even more effort (tonight).
guy
With him being on the floor, he's a lot bigger, a guy that can get in there and rebound. B.J.'s ... going to be aggressive. That's what we need ... off the bench.
knock mental miss shoot starts thinking
We're thinking about it too much. When it starts getting mental, that's when you miss shots. I don't think we're struggling; we shoot every day in practice, and we knock them down. It's just a mental thing.
eventually knocking players shooting shots start stay talented thinking trust
We're thinking about it too much. We just have to stay with it and trust each (other), and eventually shots will start knocking down. It's not a big deal. We've got a lot of really talented players who have been shooting all their life, so they'll come back around.
catch expose happen hurting nerves sleeping
We'd be hurting if we didn't have Keenan. Keenan is the kind of person that will always keep you honest. He'll try to catch you sleeping on a play or try to expose you. That's the kind of thing that will happen in a game. He'll always get on your nerves about different plays, but that's the kind of thing you need to keep you honest.
tonight unless win
Tonight it kind of did, but I don't want to say too much unless we win (the championship). I think if we actually get it, it will, but not yet, not now.
coach known seem
I think so, because he's such an important coach and he's known everywhere. It's going to seem a little different.
cool ended
I think I did cool. He ended up with 35. I mean, it's not 40.
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.
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.
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.
gotten
We may have gotten a little winded at times. But I don't think we really got tired.
