allow defense good guards job playing
We have to do a good job playing defense on their guards and not allow them to penetrate.
nights upset
With J.J. having nights like that, I can't be upset about being overshadowed.
battle
It was a long, dog-fight game, and it was just a battle the whole 45 minutes.
middle opened point redeem shooting tone
I wanted to come out here and make a point and kind of redeem myself. I set the tone early. Having our shooters go out there and shooting 3s kind of opened up the middle for me.
coming extended minutes starting
I think I am going to be getting more extended minutes coming up this weekend, I am starting to feel better,
evolved involved last line plays shot steals
I think I've evolved because I'm more than just a shot blocker. I've been involved in those plays where I'm not just the last line of defense. I can also go in and get steals and play perimeter defense.
fight stuff
I thought it was an unnecessary foul, and that's why I kind of jumped back up like that. But that's part of the game, and you've got to fight through stuff like that.
ball close final game gave regroup strong
We haven't had a close game in a while and we let up a bit. We weren't strong with the ball late. We gave them a turnover. We had to regroup and concentrate in the final minutes.
came everybody fight good knew mature played tech virginia
We came out, and we played like we knew we could play. Everybody responded well, and we came out and played like a mature team. Virginia Tech is good - they fight to the end of every game.
analyze came good losses regroup
We've got to regroup and rebuild. We kind of have to analyze things. We're still 14-2 in the conference, so we still did a pretty good job. Our two losses just came at the end.
found
I found it unnecessary, and that's why I jumped back up. It's part of the game.
added anybody chance duke feeling good uniform
I don't think we're feeling any added pressure, we always have pressure, anyway, because we have a Duke uniform on. But it's something we always wanted. We feel like we have as good a chance as anybody to do that.
happening maybe player shot thinking
Maybe he's thinking too much about his shot and his moves, but I don't see that happening in the Tournament. I think he'll be re-motivated and be the player he has been for us.
depth gel hard higher knew last national win year
We knew last year things were going to be kind of hard for us to win a national championship because of our depth problems. But this year we have higher expectations and hopefully, we can gel right away and get on a roll.
