Basically we knew we had to rebound. Once we hit the boards, that was a big difference in the game. We kicked it up. We got transition buckets.

The transition from last year has been a real fun time. We hope we can continue this season.

We've concentrated on getting better as a team, getting the chemistry better. As the season progressed, we became a better team.
ball good guards height men played shot though
Even though their height wasn't 6-9, 6-7, they played hard. Their guards shot the ball well and they got the big men the ball. They're a good all-around team.
came extra games great prepared seen watch
Every game, you've got to focus. We watch games and see the intensity. We've seen upsets. Having the extra day to watch, that prepared us better for what we had to go through. We prepared and came away with a great win.
best coming deep defense easy great knocking might playing point scratched talented
At this point in the year, I'm really in a groove. I'm coming out playing great defense and knocking down easy shots. We're so talented and so deep that we don't know if that's the best we can play. We might have just scratched the surface.

Both of us, you know, we came from a long way throughout the season. Now we're both great teams.

If we can win this, we'll be remembered forever. We can give people joy they'll have for the rest of their lives.
four might miss says teams wearing wears
If we can sub four in and not miss a beat, that says something about our team. Once they are wearing down, they might have one or two new people. We can sub four more and keep the same intensity. That really wears teams down.
estate
I couldn't live here. The real estate is too high.
came feeling great hard heart looked looking took worked
No one really looked at me. I took it to heart. I worked hard in the gym. I came to Memphis, and I progressed. It's a great feeling looking back and saying, 'You all didn't want me. But now I'm in Memphis, and we're doing good.
hurtful played reflecting
I was reflecting on my whole career, reflecting on how we played so bad. It's hurtful not to be going home. I'll go home, but not the way I wanted to.
couple happy love
We've never been like this. The guys, we're all happy with each other, and we love being around each other, to come to practice. I couldn't say that about us a couple of years ago.
