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.
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 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.

I'm glad I stayed away from the cameras.

I'm just glad the shot went in. I haven't thought about the importance. I'm just living the moment.

forest hit junior missed remember wake year
I never hit a game-winner before. I can remember my junior year when I missed a game-winner at Wake Forest , but I'd never made a game-winner.
game setting thinking
I never go into a game thinking about scoring. I'm only thinking about setting up the other guys.
far found hard major people playing remember worked
I want people to remember how far I came, from not playing to being a major contributor. I want them to remember that some way and somehow, I worked hard and found a way to get on the court.

It's a moment everybody dreams about, your whole life. For that shot to go in, I can't believe it.
ball turning
We were out of synch, turning the ball over. We were doing things that were out of character.
