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.
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.
game start
Intensity, it ain't there. We come out at the start of the game slow.
dig
We've got to come out and get a win. There's nothing to it. We have to dig down and play hard.
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.
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.
guys head knowing missed opportunity seeing year
I think that's what made me better. That year off, seeing other guys play, knowing I'd missed the opportunity to be out there. After that, I couldn't quit. I won't quit. I can't put my head down after that.
home means
He had to come home for me, and I think this means a lot to him because he wasn't able to do that.
call definitely hit surprised
He hit me on the forearm. I was definitely surprised they didn't call it.
took
We took them for granted. If we don't play hard, we took them for granted.
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.
fighting fights-and-fighting hopefully pull sooner
We have to keep fighting and hopefully pull one out sooner or later.
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.
mean though
I feel like, even though I had that, I didn't play that well tonight. It doesn't mean anything because we didn't get the win.
