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.
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.
helps points
That helps a lot. We have to make up points for Thornton.
battles both build came good high knew school talked
You always had those battles in high school and we've talked about the old days. It was fun. I knew both before I came here and it was good to build those relationships.
forgotten moving
We wanted to let him know we hadn't forgotten about him. We'll keep it moving for him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
coming heads tournament walk
It's pretty low. But we've got the A-10 Tournament coming up. We can't just walk in there with our heads down.
