left openings people saw sucking
Torin was sucking a lot of people in and that left openings for me. Once I saw the openings, I went in. If it was open, I wanted to take it.
simple
We just lost, simple as that. They killed us on the boards.
assist corner lady listened
There was a lady in the corner who was like, 'Shoot it,' so I listened to her. I give her the assist on that one.

I did not realize how much the university has taken pride in our achieving this. I think it will have a very, very positive effect on the school.
argue equals five hours mad mind plus sent until
My father, if he thought in his mind that two plus two equals five, then he will argue with you for about five hours until he got mad and just sent me to bed. It's his house, he's right.
chance loss positive since tough
We always said that if we got a chance to play them again, this would be different and that would be different. So we get to show all the positive things since that tough loss back then.
advantage certain confused full opened screens took
It just opened up. They got confused on certain screens and I just took full advantage.
blown good harder wondering
It's hard, but it would be much harder if we were getting blown out by 20 points. Then we would be wondering if we are not good enough, or not doing this, or not doing that.
coaches face fall given worked
We're a tight-knit group. The coaches weren't going to let us fall apart. We all worked so many hours. I don't think we would have been able to look each other in the face if we'd given up.
compete
We don't have to get into numbers. We know we go out and compete every night.

Automatic. I just said, 'clutch' when he hit both of them because I knew he was going to hit them. He sealed the victory for us.
bounce continue happened mood obviously
The mood is fine. Obviously we're distraught about this game, but it's happened to us before. We're just going to have to bounce back and continue play hard. That's all we can do at this point.
almost building happen situation
I said in the huddle, when we were up three, we can't relax, because this was almost the same situation of Louisville, and we can't have that happen again. We wanted to get out of the building on time. No overtime.
definitely respect says yell
He'll yell at you, tell you this, tell you that, but if you're right, he'll tell you that, and I definitely respect that. I never look at how he says it, it's what he says. ... We all know it's a family.
