found good shot
We thought we had a pretty good shot at going into overtime. We hopped on our defense. But they found a guy, and he just tossed it up and it went in. It was kind of an up-and-down situation.
shots tough
It's tough to get shots over him because he's so long.
good matter shots three
Once we were down we thought we could get back into it by making shots and making good plays. You get down by three or four, it's all right. But if you're down 10 or 12 it's really hard, no matter how good your shooters are, to get back into it.
figured heard inside instead outside relying rumors shots
I had heard rumors that I couldn't dunk, so I figured I would get some. We were able to take more inside shots instead of relying so much on the outside shot.
definitely establish game inside open shots
I'm definitely going to try to establish an inside game for our team. I'll try to get open shots outside, but I'm going inside first.
happens swing
It was an up and down swing of emotions. But that happens in basketball.
against change defense energy played
Our energy on defense was probably better than it's been all year. We didn't like the way we played against Pitt. We wanted to change it.
energy game great last since time
Our energy is great around this time of year. This could be our last game at any time since we're all seniors.
energy game great last ready since time
Our energy is always great around this time of year. We're always ready to play, especially since it could be the last game at any time for us seniors.
beating coming hitting incredible shoot
Coming here and beating them, it was tremendous. They were hitting incredible shots, but we can shoot with anybody.
arena basketball coming fan people per playing school thank tremendous year
We have a lot of people come up to us and thank us for just coming to school there and playing basketball after the year they had before we got there. When we started, it was 4,000 (fans per game), and now, our arena is up to 14,000. It's just tremendous to have that kind of fan support.
bother mean tournament
We're used to being underdogs. It won't bother us. It doesn't mean anything in a tournament like this.
knock open second
I think I had a lot of open looks, but I just didn't knock them down, especially in the second half.
both east gray second shut third took
I think Gray made me a better player. I think we made each other better. The first game, he shut me down. The second game, I kind of took away something from him. And the third game, we both scored a little bit, but he got the better of it in the Big East tournament.
