beginning extra felt great played team
We felt like we were back as a team like we were at the beginning of the year. We made the extra pass, we got a lot more physical, we played team defense, got some great stops, made some big shots.
both games trying wins
Those are two big games for us trying to get to the tournament. We need both of those wins to get in.
knocked open
I was open. It was like any other shot. I was open and I knocked it down.
best came coach leaving options reason season stay trying weigh worried
My coach is leaving and that wasn't the only reason, but that was a very big reason why I came here. I don't think it would be best for me to stay here. I think it would be best for me to weigh my options and look elsewhere. I try not to think about all of these things right now. We've got a season that we're still playing, we're trying to make the (NCAA) tournament, and that's all I'm worried about.
forward games minutes played power
Most of the games I started at the three, but I played like 30 minutes at the power forward spot.

We're not going to get too focused on how many points he scores; there is still a game that needs to be played.

Hopefully I can be with him wherever he goes.
goes good hopefully playing season somewhere trying worried
Hopefully he can get a job, and if he goes somewhere that's good enough for me, I'll be there with him.. I'm trying not to think about all these things right now. We've got a season we're still playing in and we're trying to make it to the (NCAA) tournament. That's all I'm worried about.
coach davis reason wherever
Coach Davis is my coach; he's the only reason I'm here. Hopefully, I can be with him wherever he goes.
couple decision finishing next studies
I'll make that decision in the next couple of weeks, but right now I'm just concentrating on my studies and finishing everything out.
feels season trying
I know D.J. (White) feels the same way; I don't know about the others. I try not to think about all those things right now. We have a season that we're still playing, and we're trying to make it to the (NCAA) Tournament.
defensive energy second
In the second half, we had no energy on the defensive end. I don't know why we didn't come out and fight.
