coming exactly felt jump knew last might nervous nice scared talent team
I know coming in, personally, I was more nervous than I have been all year. It felt exactly like it did last year. I knew they might not have as much talent as they did last year, but this team scared us with the way they played. It was nice to come out and jump on them right away.
came guys step team telling tried
I came out in the first half, and I didn't necessarily feel comfortable. At halftime, all the guys on the team were telling me, 'We need you. We need you.' I just tried to step up myself.
defense good left needed ready run saw shots
It's not really that I thought I needed to take the shots, it's that I thought we needed to get good possessions and score. Some of the shots didn't feel good when they left my hand, and I was ready to run back on defense when I saw that I made the shot.
guys happens head last sticks takes until year
It sticks in your head when something like that happens and you can't get it out until you get over the hump. A lot of guys were here last year and they know it takes for us to win.
far fit pieces sound starting together
I don't want to sound overconfident, but I think we have all the pieces right now and they are all starting to fit together at the right time. We just have to keep going. You can't look too far ahead. We just have to be careful, and do what we can to get there.
