against best competition high individual later level played players school special talk
It's something that's special to me. It will be something that I talk about later down the road. I think it's probably one of my best individual performances. I haven't played against the level of competition that I've in college. In high school I didn't see players who were 6-9.
against backs liked people prove telling took top
I took it as an insult. I mean, they come in and they tell us that. Some people didn't have us in the top 60. I mean, that's something. I kind of liked it, having our backs up against the wall, people telling us something we can't do, and we go out there and prove them wrong.
against critical game mind mistakes played won
I just couldn't get the game against them out of my mind that we played at home. I thought we should have won it but we made some critical mistakes at the end.
coming hit kept maybe missed relaxed run
When we got the lead, maybe we relaxed with it a little bit. They hit some shots, and we missed some. They made a run and just kept coming at us.
definitely gave head helped kept playing road win
What helped us get the road win is we kept our poise. There were definitely some times where we made some questionable plays, but I think we kept our head and kept playing hard, and that's what gave us the win.
belt coming experience freshmen guys pressure roles thrown
I think that there was a lot of pressure on the freshmen coming in with some of the guys leaving, having to play some big roles and get thrown right into the lineup early. But I think that's over now. I think we have experience under our belt now.
focused game stressed
I think that was real big. It was something that we stressed before the game ... it was something that we really focused on.
arm ball couple guy looked looking pass posting saw stuck
I was kind of surprised; I thought he'd be posting up the way he was for a couple of possessions before. But I saw him go up, and it looked like their guy (Swann) kind of fumbled the ball and was looking for someone to pass it to, and I stuck my arm out.
gotten learned senior tips veteran
I think I could have learned a lot from Sean. He would have been a senior and he would have been a veteran to learn from. I could have gotten tips from him and learned a lot.
body bumps couple games last quickly recover time
Over the last couple of games it's been real physical. We have games back really quickly and sometimes my body doesn't have time to recover all the way. Sometimes you have to play with little bumps and bruises.
converted fans ourselves stayed within
I think we just stayed within ourselves and didn't let any of the fans get to us. We got some turnovers and converted ... It is great.
beat free hit knocked
When I knocked down those free throws, it hit me that we'd just come in here and beat Duke. It doesn't get any better than this.
came run shows team type
It showed a lot for us. We were down 17, came back, made a big run and got right back in it. It shows what type of team we can be.
basketball carolina college deal definitely enjoying goal great improve mine nba phase teammates
The NBA is definitely a goal of mine down the line, but right now I am enjoying college a great deal and feel I can improve in every phase of my game. I enjoy school, my teammates and being part of the Carolina basketball program.
