against fight knew
We knew we couldn't let up against them. We knew they would fight back. They always fight back.
against beat loose percent second shot team time
We couldn't get a stop. We just couldn't. That's only the second time a team has shot 50 percent against us ... They beat us on the glass. They went after every loose ball. They made big shots.
against best game heads seems soon
It would be the same if we were No. 4 or No. 24. Connecticut is Connecticut. They're going to want to take our heads off as soon as we get out there. They're going to be aggressive. It may be the best game they have all season. Everyone seems to have their best game against us.
against best game seems
I know they're going to give us a game. Seems like everyone is having their best game against us. Being No.1, we're a target.

That was a big road trip getting off to a good start and (winning) against a really talented team.
advantage against athletic ball catch crowd drive force guys lane obviously position shots smart tall
I want to crowd him. Not really let him catch the ball and ... play smart because obviously he'll take advantage if you're out of position a little bit. You have to force him to be athletic and make him drive by you and make athletic shots in the lane against our tall guys in the middle.
against maybe rather sitting win
I'd rather play, maybe they've been sitting for too long. They had a big win against Rutgers, but maybe they've been sitting for too long. You never know.
mind
The only thing that was on my mind was D.C.
designed good hands job whoever
The play wasn't designed to go to me, it was just whoever got open. They tripled-teamed me and did a good job of getting their hands on it.
luck prepare
When you prepare hard, luck comes to you.
bigger distribute easier great player
Without Hassan, it made me take a bigger role. I always could have done that, but when you have another great player with you, it's easier to distribute the points.
everybody hit hitting people playing raises shots
Without Hassan here, we need people to come in and hit big shots. When he's hitting shots and playing with confidence, it raises everybody else's level.
ball easy incredible ivan lay percentage shooting simplified
We are shooting an incredible percentage inside. When we got the ball in there we got easy dunks. Ivan got lay up after lay-up. We simplified the game.
attacked bad good happened ready statement
We attacked the ball, and things happened good for us and bad for them. We made a statement that we're ready to go.
