adjustment cherish forever life maine pace people quietness sides slow time traffic
A lot of time to do nothing. Going from the high-speed life of L.A., with the traffic and everything, to the quietness of Maine and the slow pace that they live was just a big adjustment for me. It's something that, I look back now and I cherish because you see just two different sides of how people live and every day lives. It's something that will forever be on my mind.
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.
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.
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.
freshman game mature shows
I don't think of him as a freshman anymore. To come in and play like he did in a game like this shows how mature he is.
