blessed guys quit realize sit sorry stands until
Even if we're 0-11 in the Big East, I can't quit on my teammates. You have guys leave, and I feel sorry for them. You never know what you have until it's gone. You quit a team, you sit in the stands and watch, and then you realize how blessed you are to have this opportunity.
fighting fights-and-fighting hopefully pull sooner
We have to keep fighting and hopefully pull one out sooner or later.
feels good talk win
It feels good to not have to talk about what we could have done to win and talk about what we did to win.
against basketball best came guys laid played ranked
Guys came out and just laid it all on the floor. We played our best basketball against ranked teams. We can play with these guys at this level.
against body guys time weigh weight
I could tell a real difference, and it made me proud. His body has always had its own idea of how much weight it should hold, and he's put in a lot of time to get where he can body up against guys who weigh 260 or 270.
anybody convinced guys line
If we're not convinced that we can play with people, then we'll never be convinced. I think most of our guys are convinced that we can just line up with anybody out there.
dig kindness
We kind of let up, and that's when they went on the 8-0 run. We can't let up. When we have the momentum, we have to find a way to dig deep.
great hear shot south
You hear about all those players. But not all the great shot blockers come out of Georgetown. We got some here at South Florida.
dig
We've got to come out and get a win. There's nothing to it. We have to dig down and play hard.
close pull
It's very frustrating. It was so close and we're not able to pull one out.
great opportunity ourselves people prove
It's another great opportunity to go out and prove ourselves to people all over the world. We have to come out and want to win, come out and play hard.
against coming few guys last major next teams top win
We didn't want to go out with a major blowout. Me and James, this is our last few games, and if we can get a win against one of the top teams in the country, that's going to be an inspiration for the guys coming back next year.
against bounce game hitting runs start
We're doing this every game. Every game, game after game. We're up against Villanova and they start hitting threes. They start making runs and we don't know how to bounce back.
expected giving prove step
This is what everyone expected - for us to go 0-16 in the conference. And we're just giving them what they want. We have to step up and prove everyone wrong.
