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.

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.
ball came caught felt good leaving push shot
The play was designed, if they made a three, to push the ball up the floor. A.J. Abrams came to my side. I called for the ball. It was on the money. I caught it and shot it. It felt good leaving my hand, but I had no idea it was going in.

It's a moment everybody dreams about, your whole life. For that shot to go in, I can't believe it.

If I'm open, I'll shoot the ball. I take shots that coach will be OK with. I don't try and create too much.
glad living shot
I'm just glad the shot went in. I haven't thought about the importance. I'm just living the moment.
ball turning
We were out of synch, turning the ball over. We were doing things that were out of character.

We felt good about the first half, but we know how West Virginia shoots the ball.

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.

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.
