felt left missed shots time
I've missed game-winning shots before, but that's the first time I've made one. When it left my hand, it felt good.
ball calling came designed felt good hit left quick run shot side
The play was designed that way. If they hit a 3, we just wanted to get the ball out quick and run it down the floor. A.J. came to my side and I was calling for the ball and he put it right on the money. I just shot it. When it left my hand, it felt good but I had no idea it was going in. Luckily, it went in.
bitter knocked last left nobody sweet taking tough year
Hopefully, nobody is taking the Sweet 16 for granted. Last year was tough on me. We left with a bitter taste, getting knocked out in the first round. We wanted to get back and we have.
ball turning
We were out of synch, turning the ball over. We were doing things that were out of character.
felt good shoots virginia west
We felt good about the first half, but we know how West Virginia shoots the ball.
guards kept tough
It was tough for our guards to get through their traps. It kept us on our toes.
court luckily shot
The whole play was just to get down the court and get a shot up and see what happens. Luckily it went in.
floor
The whole thing was to get it down the floor and see what happens.
close compares
I've made some big shots. But I don't think anything compares or even comes close to this.
boys came gone grown
We came in together, and we've grown up together. We've gone from boys to men.
That's the only thing I can think of.
life los quietness quite slower traffic
I was used to the high-speed life of Los Angeles, the traffic and everything. There is this quietness to Maine. It's a lot slower there. It was quite an adjustment.
coming felt good
It felt pretty good coming off my hand.
forget guys shooting soon start
Guys can tell you I never let anything get to my head. I forget about this as soon as we go (to practice) and we start shooting around.
