approach friday game games help helped knowing last matter ncaa night obviously order practice prepare selection terms tough tournament week whether win year
Last year obviously helped us and more than just the game. A game is a game. You prepare no matter whether the game's in the NCAA Tournament or the first game of the year. You really approach it the same way, at least we do. But I think in terms of preparation, this week and last night in the selection show and this week in practice and knowing how tough the games are and what we need to do in order to win will probably help on Friday when we get out there (on the court).
enjoy revenge
Sure, I?d like to get revenge for him. But he told me to just go out and enjoy the moment.
happened helps last shows
It helps solidify what happened last year. It shows it wasn't a fluke.
against bit good job maybe rushing second shot three
That's as good a job as somebody's done guarding the three against us all year. They're so long and athletic. And the pressure, they get you going so fast. Even when you do get a second to get a shot up, maybe you're rushing a little bit here and there.
competition intense
He?s so intense during competition that he?s not going to change.
good ready scares team
I don't think there's any team that necessarily scares us. But you don't really want to play them either. But that's part of the tournament. You play only good teams. We'll be ready if we get there, but we have a long way to go.
attention continue dreamed fighting hopefully keeps ranked
I don't think any of us ever dreamed of being nationally ranked or getting some of the attention we've gotten. We just keep fighting and it keeps getting better. Hopefully we continue it, but we've still got a long way to go.
added bit enjoy happen ncaa pressure revenge tournament
He's not going to put any added pressure on me. He just told me to go out and enjoy the moment, because the NCAA Tournament doesn't happen every day. But I'm sure he would like it if we got a little bit of revenge for him.
charles drove found gave good great half halftime knocked obviously open spot tough
The first half was tough. There were so many fouls called, it was tough to get into a rhythm. Obviously it's good to go into halftime ahead. Charles made a great play. He drove and I just found an open spot and knocked it down. It gave us good momentum.
last sure
I'm sure they're going to come after us, just like we did last year.
