ball hot kept
Not really. (The guards) were hot at the end of the game, so they kept the ball in their hands.
strong
I mean, we just have to...I don't know. We just have to be strong in there.
battling spot teams
These two teams we play, all of us are battling for a spot in the tournament. We have to want it more than them.
hit knew
I'm just cool. I knew I could hit them.
ball confident feeding start tonight
We just wanted to come out tonight and start it up. They were feeding us the ball from the perimeter, they're always confident in us, but they're even more confident when we're producing.
hard panic work
We didn't panic at all. Hard work, you can't really work on that. It's just something we have to do.
kept
We just kept our composure. It was a sense of urgency.
aggressive definitely half
Definitely frustrating. We weren't as aggressive defensively as we started the half out.
starting
Right about now, it's all or nothing. We know we had to get two starting tonight.
ball halves played saying stop together whether within
It's up to us whether we want to rotate to stop the ball or try to get that rebound. That's within ourselves. We played with that sense of urgency. Not saying that we didn't have it before, but we haven't put it together for two halves like we did (Saturday).
mental mentally
It's all mental than anything. We all just have to mentally want to win.
east guarded physical
In the Big East they like to collapse. It's more physical in the Big East, much more physical. But if I'm getting guarded one-on-one, I'm going to go with it every time.
coaches fighting final none obviously spots sure teammates
I didn't think so and I'm sure none of my teammates or coaches thought we would be in this position, actually fighting to get one of the final spots in it. But that's what we did have to do and obviously we got it done.
amount clicking few last needed production step
With the amount of production the frontcourt has had the last few games, we really needed to step it up. This shows, when the perimeter's clicking and the frontcourt is clicking how we can play.
