came east fighting game good guys job last scholars-and-scholarship typical wins
This is a typical Big East game. Even this game came right down to the last shot. The guys did a good job fighting back. It's going to be like this day-in and day-out. There's no gimme wins in this conference.
feed game points position push sure teammates
They got me tired, but I had to push through it. There are points in the game where my teammates feed off me. I have to make sure I get back on defense, and just get in position where I can make plays.
stay whether
I just want everyone to know I'm going to make the right decision. Whether it's for me to stay or go, I'm going to make the right decision.
glad offense offensive struggles
A lot of times my offense is so bad, I'm just glad even with my offensive struggles that I've been able to get offensive rebounds.

I want to make sure that when the June 18 deadline comes, it will be my decision, not someone else's or any outside reason, whether I stay or go.

The draft process will provide me a great learning experience and will help me become a better player. Academically, I am well on my way to graduating and earning a degree and that is a priority for me.

That was a tough game. We played real hard. The shots just weren't falling tonight. It just wasn't our night.
basketball believe beyond feet hit last
I couldn't believe when he hit that last 3-pointer from about 15 feet beyond the line, but what can you do? He was unbelievable.
biggest breakdown confronted cut cutting defensive guys hopefully issues last lead learn losing meeting offensive people putting stress understand winning
Guys are putting too much stress on the offensive end and not enough stress on the defensive end. I think that showed in the last game. We also have to cut down on turnovers. The biggest part of the meeting was cutting down on the little things. People don't understand that one possession, one breakdown can lead to you winning or losing the game. We've confronted those issues and hopefully we'll learn from them.
coach hard people year
Obviously, it was a big concern. For the juniors, the people who only have one year left, it's sometimes hard to get a new coach and have a new system.
