They were just happy for me to make a free throw.
Bad. We're not communicating on defense. In the film against Indiana, they shot the ball well. But that was partly our fault too because we didn't get a lot of contests on their shots and we didn't keep it out of the post.
That was a big key. We broke their pressure with patience. They didn't make us play up-tempo like they wanted.
That's what we don't have right now. I think a lot of guys are down right now, but we've got to stay positive. It's a long season.
Coach Smith has given me tough love, which I believe has made me a stronger ballplayer and a better person.
Coach told us before the game that he was going to be a different person. He told us he was going back to his old way of coaching.
(Tennessee) played up on me and my big men kept setting screens and getting me open.
That should help us. We've played against it.
A big key to the game was handling their pressure, especially because we weren't shooting the ball well. We were able to break their press with patience and we didn't get into the up-tempo game that they wanted. We pushed the ball, but only when we wanted to.
They're a great team, and we gave it everything we've got. Nobody regrets the way we played. We fought all the way until the end.
I really like moving without the ball. I think it helps me spread my defenders and move them across the court.
He stepped up. Our other guys were in foul trouble a little bit.
I don't really look at it as too much of a big deal. I'm just glad we got the win. Any way you can get it.
I didn't score a lot, but I found another way to help us win. There will be times like this when teams stop my offense. When that happens, I just have to do something else. I'm just glad we won. I'm not mad or anything that I didn't score more. I'm just glad we won.
