freshmen hat played
They're not freshmen out there. They've really played wonderful. I take my hat off to them.
behind game took
That game's completely behind us. What we took from that game is that we're not invincible.
college dream improve left senior win year
This is a dream senior year for any college player. I thought about the NBA, but I wanted to win and I wanted to improve on where I left off as a junior.
built duke maybe minutes score ton
Gonzaga and Duke are built so that they need them to score a ton of points. But with me, my team's so deep, I don't need to play 30, 35 minutes to win. I can play 25, maybe 20, and we'll still win.
both constantly continues crazy gets guarded player run running shot stay
He continues to run and run and gets his shot off so quick. It's crazy to stay with him. J.J. is constantly running off screens. I guarded them both. Both of them should be player of the year.
coaches playing single
He coaches every single play, and you're going to have to do it, even if we're up 35 or 40. If you're out there playing around, and not really intense, he's going to sub you. You don't want to get subbed. You want to be out there and play.
final home hurtful
It's real hurtful right now. I'm going back home anyway, but not in the Final Four, not in the way I wanted to go.
court drive dunk helps hole open people style
I like the open court and I like to drive to the hole and dunk on people. This style of play really helps me do that.
chemistry continue fun hope
The chemistry is here. I hope we continue this because it's been a really fun season.
ready seed worry
All the analysts said we'd be the first No. 1 seed out. We've got a long way to go and we can't worry about that. We have to get ready to play.
defense lead throughout
That's what we've been concentrating on throughout our other victories: defense. Once we got the defense clicking, the lead just extended.
