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.
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.
knew lost playing teammates
If we lost this, we knew we were out. My teammates don't get nervous. I'm just playing basketball.
against coming stayed team together
We stayed together and had contributions from everybody. That's what we need on the road, especially against a team that was coming in that hot.
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.

I know our team can match up with any team in the conference. I ain't saying we're going to blow out (any) team. We've got to play hard, but if everybody does their part we'll be all right.
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.
candy coming dream hard kid paying putting teammates work
It's like a little kid in a candy store. It's just a dream come true. All the hard work I've been putting in and my teammates have been putting in, it's just paying off right now. Everything is just coming together.
game team teammates
It was a team effort. I wanted this game more than anything and I know my teammates did, 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.
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.
attack dropping hook line pass quick
First, I look at my attack line to see if I can go baseline or get a quick hook to the middle. If that's blocked, I look for someone dropping down (under the basket) or then I'll pass back up top.
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.
