counting knew teammates time true
True story. I knew my time was coming. I knew my teammates were going to be counting on me. I didn't want to let them down.
either poor strong teammates
Yeah, either that or I have to make a better move. When my teammates did find me, I wasn't strong with the ball. I made too many poor decisions.
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.
achievement biggest coaches compliment gave great reason support teammates
It's a great achievement. It's a great compliment to my team. I couldn't have done it without them. The support the coaches and my teammates gave me is probably the biggest reason this happened.
boys few great guys job knew offensive open sending split teammates three
They've got some big boys that are very good. They were sending two or three guys at me, which was getting frustrating, so I knew I had to get offensive rebounds. The few times I was open for a split second, my teammates did a great job of getting me the ball.
against finding great job players teammates
My teammates did a great job finding me. They were just finding me and I was converting. I should have made some more. It's nothing against (Providence), it's just that we have great players to play with.
break chance forward gives looking spring teams year
It gives us a chance to play teams from around the country. I'm really looking forward to it. It's the first year we've done it, and usually during Spring Break we flatten off because we won't play.
board happy people running
Without any pressing issues, there won't be a lot of change. Most people are pretty happy with who is running the board now.
add easily fuel game guys lost shows
We easily could have lost that game to Notre Dame. The way the young guys played, it just shows they're not going to give up. We don't want to lose. If we do, it'll add fuel to the fire.
church clothes ready sunday
We've got our church clothes ready for Sunday morning. You can write that down.
defensive people presenting seems setting step strategies teams
Other teams are keying in on him, setting whole defensive strategies around him. That's presenting opportunities for other people to step up. It's amazing. It seems like every game, it's someone different.
emotional highs next night
There are so many emotional highs and lows. You play really well one night, and the next night, you don't play well at all.
easy four offense taking three
My offense was bad, and I had to keep taking three or four opportunities to get an easy basket.
falling night played shots tough
That was a tough game. We played real hard. The shots just weren't falling tonight. It just wasn't our night.
