approach assist double happen man pass team teammates
I am anticipating a double team. That's how I approach every game. If a team doesn't, then that's good. But I just want to get opportunities for my teammates and make things happen with the pass or the dribble. I'm going to have to be the assist man for our team if they do that.

We couldn't let them beat us by 33 in our own house.

I would like to thank the coaches for putting me in position to be successful. Coach (Ben) Braun, especially, gave me his support on my decision. He has said he's behind me no matter what.
calendar feels huge mark playing team tried
It feels good. I had that on my calendar and tried to mark it down for one of my goals, to be playing in March. It's just huge for us, our team and our program.

came score team
If I score a lot of points, or if I don't, I just want my team to win. But we just came up short, and that's the only thing that matters.
control expect hard lack match philosophy playing team time wins
The only thing we can control are wins and losses, and playing hard every time out. I expect us to go out and play hard and give it our all every time out. We know we can match up with any team in our conference. We got to have that confidence. You can't do anything with a lack of confidence.
needed ordinary tried
This was a big game. It's not an ordinary game. I look at it and tried to tell myself, 'It's just another game.' We needed this win, too.
eat fairly knew offense park played popcorn stayed walk within
We knew it wasn't going to be a walk in the park or that we'd be able to eat popcorn and stuff. But we played fairly well, stayed within our offense most of the time, and we were 0-fer on the road, so this was huge.
