lie minutes syracuse team thinking within
We can't get bigheaded. We can't just think every team is going to lie down after we get a big victory. We were thinking Syracuse was going to lie down after those first 30 minutes and they actually crawled back to get within two possessions. You can't do that.
help sweet team thinking trying
Washington, D.C.. That's all I was thinking about ? going to D.C. I've never been to the Sweet 16. I was trying to help my team get there.
bow felt good granted played thinking took
Now before we played Marquette, we felt a little too good and went out there and took it for granted thinking they were going to bow down and let us get the victory. But now, I think we're still focused.
coach family focusing game sit thinking
I have to sit down with coach (Jim Calhoun) and sit down with my family. I'm still just thinking about the game. I've just been focusing on game after game, not thinking about the future.
aggressive gets involved
When we get Rashad involved early, we are a way better team. He's gets aggressive and had a lot of heart.
best came played together tournament
We bounced back and came together at the right time. At tournament time, we played our best basketball.
felt four guards nailed
We experimented a lot with it but we felt more comfortable with four guards in there. I think we nailed things down.
behind ready regular season time year
We're ready to play. It's the time of year where you have to put everything behind you. The regular season is over. We got the championship, but that's all said and done.
confident hearts knew needed shown
We knew they were going to play their hearts out. Before the game, they said they packed two suits. They were confident about going to Sunday. That right there should have shown us we needed to come to play.
almost last stepping time year
We are almost where we need to be. It was last year at this time (the UA) started stepping on people's throats. That's what we have to do next.
fire
Play With Fire, ... there's no iBook in team.
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.
lie playing
Playing a No. 16 seed, sometimes you think they are going to lie down and give us the win. We need to go out and take the first hit.
focus lost time
Like I've said time and time again, we lost focus.
