I committed to Michigan because that's what everybody wanted me to do, but it wasn't what I wanted. Once I got to hang around the guys down here, I knew where I belonged.
I'd like to win another one. We'll have to sit down and talk about everything. I think we want to win another one.
I feel like I've got my bounce back.
Maybe people thought of us as a running team. Or a three-point shooting team. A no-contact team. We've changed that image.
(The guards) make the other team take tough shots, make it hard on the 3-point line. They have just done a great job guarding (against 3-pointers).
Oh yeah. If you forget, they make you run for those.
That's not his thing, going out to clubs and stuff like that. He'd rather just stay at home and chill.
There was not much we could do (last season) because it wasn't our team. It was frustrating at times because we wanted to push the ball. (Anthony) Roberson and Matt Walsh just wanted to walk ... it ... up. I loved playing with those guys but it was frustrating at times.
They were leaving the wrong guy open. When you leave Lee, he's going to make you pay for it.
Everybody was really excited, but we all know what time it is. We all know that this is just the beginning.
No matter who we play, it's all about seizing the moment.
It's been up and down all year when it comes to those kinds of close games. And we've got to start finding out ways to win games. Whatever we can do to come out with the win, that's what we've got to do.
You could just see it in their face. When we see they're tired - we're in great shape, so we aren't going to get tired. That's when we go in for the kill.
Oh, man, it's just exciting. It's the point where every basketball player wants to be.
