came game knew ordinary saying
Oh, this was a big game. We came here saying it was a big game, we knew that, but I just tell myself it's an ordinary game so I don't psych myself out.
game team teammates
It was a team effort. I wanted this game more than anything and I know my teammates did, too.
game good playing team
After that game we were down on ourselves. We let a team come in and get wide-open looks. That's not playing good defense.
couple fairly games good lost rank row shot stretch tournament win wins
I don't know if they go by if you rank in your league, or the games you win and lost, or our RPI. I think we still have a fairly good chance. We still have the (conference) tournament to go. I still think we have a good shot to win, but we have to get some wins now. We've lost a couple in a row down the stretch here, and they look at that, too.
aggressive feels games score second slow ugliest ugly
If I hadn't been aggressive (in the second half), I don't know what score we would have had up there. It was just an ugly game. It was one of the ugliest games I've been in. It just feels like everything is in slow motion.
felt games gives motion playing slow type ugliest
I don't like playing in this type of game. It gives me a headache. It was one of the ugliest games I've ever been in. It felt like everything was in slow motion. I don't like slow motion too much.
beat
We couldn't let them beat us by 33 in our own house.
behind coaches gave matter position putting support thank
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.
If I was a ref, I wouldn't have called it.
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.
care defense playing shot sun
If we keep playing defense and doing our jobs, it'll all take care of itself. Now if they (the Sun Devils) come out and make every shot they take, that's a different story.
decisions knowing looking mom thank
I'd like to thank God, first of all. I don't make any decisions without him. And I know my mom is looking down on me knowing that I'll make the right decision.
best decision draft eligible family hiring leave options
My family and I thought this was the best decision right now, to make myself eligible for the draft without hiring an agent. I want to leave all of my options open.
