hands last six talked whatever
That's something we haven't talked about for the last six months. He just told us that whatever they say, it's not in our hands anyway. We just have to play basketball.
ball defense gives time
I've got to be able to get the ball more, but at the same time you want to go with what's working for your team. You take what the defense gives you, I guess.
doubling games
They weren't doubling me. They weren't fronting me in the post. If I can get more games like that, we'll be better off.
against fight lead team
You have a lead against the eighth-ranked team in the country, you know they're going to fight back.
against bodies foul inside night playing wear
You have to use your quickness, your pump-fake game, to get inside of them and try to get them in foul trouble. Playing against big bodies all night is kind of tough. You have to try to wear them down.
defense east great team
The team defense was great. It was an all-around great game, especially going into the Big East (schedule).
fallen games given played stepped
We stepped to the challenge. A lot of games we could have just given up on, we could have just fallen down and said, 'Forget it, we're not that good.' There was adversity, but we played with heart.
score scrappy team
They're a scrappy team that doesn't score a lot of points.
bit came defend guaranteed line
We didn't defend the three-point line at all. We just didn't defend. We came out a little bit like we were guaranteed a win.
defend guards playing speaks time
We didn't defend the 3-point line. We just didn't defend, period. Any time two guards go off for 66 points, you're not playing defense. That speaks for itself.
bother says talked three
We've only talked about it three times all year. Lou doesn't let a lot of things bother him. That says a lot about his character.
fine
To be any seed, in any bracket, is fine with me.
capable rotation shots
Those are shots I'm capable of shooting. I don't think they had their rotation down as well as they'd like.
blow came thinking tougher
We didn't come in with the mind-set that we were going to blow them out, we came in thinking it was going to be a tougher game. We had to be tougher, and I think we established that.
