coming game looked minutes since three tired toughest tv waited
This was probably the toughest game since I've been back. I was tired with like three minutes left. I kind of looked at him (Calhoun) for a sub and he said we had a TV timeout coming up. So I waited. I waited it out, but I was tired.
coming ivan taking talked
We talked about coming out fast, but when Ivan was taking over, everyone else was off. We have to get everyone going.
coming craig drop easier game guard man playing plays starting step teammates top trying
Playing with Craig makes it a lot easier for me. And I think what's a lot easier for me is a lot easier for our team. When I'm coming off a lot of off-the-ball picks, it's more of a 4-on-3 game than it is 5-on-5, starting at the top and trying to set up the offense. When I'm coming off screens, I think I can make my teammates better because their man is going to have to step up and guard me. I think I can drop it off. If not, I think I can make plays alone.
came coming knew missing needed whoever
We've needed that all year, coming and not missing a beat, so whoever came in we knew it was the same intensity.
coming deep ethic exactly freshman great help leadership potential season step taking team work
As a freshman you go in there and you step into deep water. Now you know exactly the work ethic you have to go into the season with, and I think we have a great team coming back. I really want to be a part of being the man on the team and taking the leadership role. That will help me grow. This team will have the potential to do a lot of big things.
coming east gritty intense teams walk
It's going to be a grind-out game. It's going to be a Big East game. It's not going to be a walk in the park. With No. 1 on our chests, a lot of teams are coming for us, especially Pitt. With their gritty attitude, it's going to be an intense game...This is like a fight. It's more like 1-on-1-on-1-on-1-on-1.
bit coming high knowing ranked surprised team tough
It surprised me a little bit knowing them. I think they were ranked pretty high coming into the preseason. You always know they're going to be a tough team during the Pac-10.
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.
