opportunity win
It's just another opportunity to win a championship, something that doesn't come easy.
came fact front grew opportunity
It just came down to the fact that it was my home-town school. I grew up around here, it was the opportunity for me to play in front of my friends and family.
caught court cut difficult opportunity players standing
I think a lot of times we got caught standing in the paint, so there wasn't a lot of opportunity for the perimeter players to drive. Once we spaced the court and screened and cut - do the things we do - it was difficult for them to keep up.
best great high opportunity
You want to go out on a high note. It's a great opportunity to play the best ever.
adapt adjust happened helped helps inspire katrina motivate victims witnessed
That helps motivate us. We witnessed everything that happened firsthand and the way we had to adjust and adapt to the situation. The Katrina victims really helped inspire us.
capitalize coming dangerous everybody executing far mistakes point sluggish
They'll be able to capitalize on some of our mistakes as far as coming out sluggish or not executing the way we should. Everybody is dangerous at this point of the season.
smiles teacher
It was her smile. It was the teacher she was, but also the person she was.
pick time
It was just time to pick it up.
glad happy history win
I'm just glad to be part of the history here. I'm more happy to get a win than the 2,000 points.
crystal hold hug kiss
I want to be able to kiss that crystal ball. Hold it and hug it.
basically dealt defensive good job stood
They did a good job on the defensive end, but most of it dealt with our offense. We just stood around and basically didn't do anything.
came cut
They were up nine. We cut into the lead, but they came back with two 3-pointers back-to-back. You can't let that happen.
clicking defense needed offense pick second time
We weren't energized, we didn't have any energy. Our offense wasn't clicking the way it should have been, and our defense wasn't the best. It was just the time that we needed to pick it up, especially in the second half.
arena everybody qualities responsibility shoulders walks
Everybody who walks into that arena has the responsibility of representing Pete Maravich. It's on our shoulders to not disrespect, (but) to play with the qualities of Pete Maravich.
