frustrated hopefully last threw time
I just let myself get frustrated and that's the first time I've done that this year. Hopefully it's the last because it really threw me out of my game.
deep definitely knocked last needing road year
They knocked us off last year so you definitely have that deep down and still think about it. We also go in needing the road win, too ? that's enough motivation.
beat blown couple hard home loss personal pride
This year, we got beat by 20 a couple of times and that was hard to take. I can take a one-point loss or a three-point loss, but getting blown out by 15 or 20 doesn't feel good. Even at home we got beat by a lot at times and that's a personal pride thing. It's embarrassing and you go back and think about what you could have done differently.
great losing ncaa nobody playing tournament
Losing is not fun, but we still got here. Nobody thought we'd get here and we did. Playing in the NCAA Tournament is a great way to end.
attitude players
We have young players who have never been so it's going to be a little nerve-racking for them. We're not at home, either. We just have to take the 'no pressure' attitude with us that we had this weekend.
focused pressure relaxed staying
We can't get so tensed up and spastic like we have before. Staying focused and relaxed and not getting so tensed up will be the key. We have no pressure on us.
eight team
We were up by eight, but we've been down by eight in that same situation. You have to know that a team can come back from that.
ball care chances four half points second took
We really took care of the ball in the second half (one turnover after halftime). And we had 20 points off of their turnovers. We didn't give them but four chances to do that on us.
behind fans knew points
Our fans didn't let us get tired. They were behind us the whole time, even when we were down by 14 points (Thursday night). With them we knew we were not out.
gonna knew stayed
We stayed pretty calm. I mean, it's not like we got too frustrated. We knew they were gonna (come after us). So we stayed pretty calm, and so did they, and they just stayed on their run.
carry confidence good playing road teams wins
It was two good wins here, but a lot of other teams are playing confident. We just have to carry our confidence on to the road and keep it up.
chance happened hit sit sleep smile sunday woke
I really haven't had a chance to sit down and think about it all. I couldn't really get to sleep (on Sunday night), but when I woke up I still had a smile on my face. But what happened hasn't really hit me yet.
both good key learning perspective sure watching
I'm sure they would have been key for us. They are both learning every day by watching and that's a good perspective to have.
dead family focus hate high joke mind tired wished
In high school, I used to joke with my family that I wished there wasn't a bench. Even when I'm dead tired I hate to come out of the game. You just focus your mind not to think about getting tired.
