We've got so many talented guys. As long as someone's stepping up, we don't need a (consistent threat), but in the long run, we'll need someone consistent.
I was really happy for him. I just kept feeding him the ball.
That's the type of style I like to play. I think that's not a smart thing for a team to do, to press us. I feel like I can beat anyone off the dribble.
That's what got me a starting role last year. Whoever's got the hot hand for Florida, I guess that's who I'll be checking.
He played great; that's the way you want to go out. He went out swinging, gave it everything he got.
I always get up for every game, but this game is especially big. It's a do-or-die thing. This could be (decide) whoever wins the regular-season championship.
They got a lot of easy baskets and rebounds. That is what killed us.
We're looking forward to the tournament. We still believe that if we play with effort, we can beat anyone. We just can't have those 2-3-minute lapses.
It’s kind of like, I would say, maybe college recruiting. I’m pretty sure a lot more goes into it in the NBA. A lot more money is spent. I’ve heard stories, guys getting called right at midnight. It’s something that I haven’t experienced. I may want to go through it. I haven’t thought about it at all.
I always try to push myself, even more now because evidently I'm not doing something right. I'm trying to do the little things that count in practice to try and get my job back.
We have to be mentally prepared for every team we play. If we play a team who has a big name on their chests, then we are going to come out ready. But if we play a team who doesn't have a big name or a star player, we have a hard time coming out ready.
I haven't even been thinking about it really. I'm just going to talk to coach. We will have a team meeting when we go back and (I'm) just (going to) focus on school.
I don't know, you go through what you go through. You handle adversity, and I think it made me hungrier.
Every team doesn't fit every person's style of play.
