feeling good grow happy huge next nice performing ready starting
We're so used to going in there and being rowdy and feeling good after wins. But we're starting to get used to performing well on the road. We're starting to grow up. It's nice to see. We were still happy about the win, because it's a huge win. We have to refocus and get ready for the next big game.
came confidence
We came in with all the confidence in the world we could get this thing done.
attribute came defensive fire flat lack offensive pop
We just came out with a lack of energy. We didn't have that pop that we usually do on the defensive end and on the offensive end. I don't know what to attribute it to. We can't come out flat like that. We have to come out with that fire from the get-go.
bad both close coming dropped felt good last mediocre ourselves top tournament track
Our whole thing was this is going to be a two-game tournament so we can get ourselves going again. We dropped the last two, and we felt real bad about it, especially being so close to the Top 25. Now, we got Dayton coming in here, GW coming in here. Both of them are real good teams. We didn't want to just get back on track with some mediocre teams. We have to get on track with a really good squad.
start stay sure work
We work and work and work at it. Eventually, it will start going our way. You can't just not take shots. There's no way we'll win. We'll stay with it, and I'm pretty sure it will start going down for us.
along came easily game glad huge leader looks plays role taken
He still plays a huge role on this squad. Everyone looks to him and can see how the game could be easily taken away, so don't take it for granted. He's such a leader and we're so glad that he came along with us.
guys hole locker main reason team
I let my team down. I apologized to the guys in the locker room. I wasn't even attacking. I'm probably the main reason we were in the hole we were in.
ahead beginning last remember road talking week
I remember talking at the beginning of the week about having a long road ahead of us. Now we have to get over the last hurdle.
front ncaa road work
Don't get me wrong, we still have a long road in front of us. We haven't done anything. We have a long way to get to the NCAA tournament. We've got so much work in front of us.
finishing good great job stop worrying
I told him to stop worrying so much about being a jump-shooter and to be a slasher. Use mid-range and get to the rim. He does a great job of getting to the basket. He does a good job of getting to the rim and finishing with the big guys.
anybody coach gets gives johnny minutes opportunity playing point waiting
I've been waiting for Coach to give me an opportunity (to play point guard). But if Dedrick is playing like that, we don't need to go to anybody else anymore. Johnny (Wolf) comes in and gives him some minutes when he gets tired, but when he's playing like this, we don't need anybody else.
couple guys last weeks
Think about that a couple weeks ago the way things were working for us. Last week the way things were looking. This team, the guys on this squad, we never give up.
ball nowhere passing somebody steal
They're so long. Everybody's 6-(foot)-5 and up. They have long arms, and they're in the passing lane. You get the ball and get trapped, and somebody comes out of nowhere to steal the ball. It's tough.
build knowing momentum next nice ready season takes
It's nice to have something to build off of and get ready for next year. Knowing what we did at the end of the season takes some momentum into next year.
