marking
I was already marking down that game. Now, definitely.
against best everybody played playing problem tournament
We've come out of this tournament with two wins, and I don't think we played our best basketball. I think that's yet to come. Everybody is up to playing against Washington, so I don't think we'll have a problem with that.
wore
We kind of wore them down with our defense.
snapped
Every person has their lulls. But I think I snapped out of my lulls and started to get better.
happen
I don't ever want to let that happen again.
behind bothers game trying win worried
I couldn't see out of it for a long time, most of the first half. It kind of bothers you, but if you are trying to win a game you aren't worried about it. You have to put it behind you.
easy expect
I wouldn't expect anything to come easy at this point.
along coach family time took tough
My family and I, along with Coach Calhoun, have put a lot of time and thought into this and we think that this is the right step. It was a tough decision. It took a lot of time and a lot of thought, but ... as a player, I think I can play at that level.

Last year we came out with a loss. We played BC, a team we definitely thought we could beat. This year we just want to make our presence known, especially with this being a new team. We want to show them how the Big East is.

I think personally, and team wise, things went pretty good. I really can't complain when we've accomplished some of the things we have as a team.
fell team
I thought this team could have done more things. We just fell short.

That will be a ways away. Whenever that happens, it happens. Right now it's just me and my team.
best played team tournament
I think every team has lapses during the season. I think we have come out of this tournament with two wins, and I don't think we played our best basketball. I think that's yet to come.

He came on strong down the stretch. It's good to have that presence down there and it kind of opens up the rest of the game for us.
