combine confidence gave opportunity people picked played position questioned relaxed
I think a lot of people questioned what position I would play in this league. With some reason, they should have. But considering the way I played in the combine and how much I showed those guys, I was comfortable and relaxed at the perimeter position. I think that gave them some confidence to give me the opportunity to get picked in the first round.
against changed coach played run
We know (Virginia Tech), but we don't. We have played against them in the past, but they have changed a lot. They have a new coach and they run a new offense. We have changed a lot, too.
lost mostly played playing press run
We just lost our composure. I give them credit. They played hard, but mostly it was us playing too fast. We went on a run at the beginning, but then they started to press and we lost our minds.
apart built ending fact fast fell given good order panicked played road situations tough trip whereas
This road trip built a lot of character. It let us know that given tough situations we know what we need to do in order to win. We know how to win. Whereas before I don't know if we would have been able to do that. We probably would have panicked a little bit, played too fast and probably fell apart when they made their run. So the fact that we were able to do it was just a good ending to this trip.
deal fight game ourselves played position sure tie watch win
I know we didn't play our 'A' game. I give them credit. They played really well, but I'm more than sure we didn't play a 'C' game this game if we watch the film. We didn't do enough to win this game. But we have to deal with it. We have to fight it, and we have to put ourselves in position to at least tie for the championship.
basket college played playing stronger weakness
I played with my back to the basket all of my college career, but I'm very comfortable playing out on the perimeter. I think it's a weakness of mine, but I think it's something that can become stronger with a lot of repetition.
apart brought closer earlier ending fact fast fell good panicked played team
I don't know if we would have been able to do that. We probably would have panicked a little bit, played too fast and probably fell apart earlier than we did when they made their run. So the fact we were able to do it was just a good ending to this trip, and I think it brought our team a lot closer together.
biggest bit carry defensive half lost moments rebounds second shot stretch time
I think we lost focus. I think that's the biggest thing. Any time where you go through a stretch where you're getting every shot you want to get, you're making every play, you're getting rebounds on the defensive end ... you're going to have moments where you're going to struggle. I think we let those moments carry over a little bit too long, especially in the second half after that 18-point lead.
attitude both career carry hopefully legacy minds onto regular season talked tournament win won year
I think it's real important (to win the championship) because we haven't had a year in our career where we've won both. So I think that's something that we've talked about also as being part of being a part of our legacy to be able to say that we won both regular season and tournament championships. So that's something we also have in the back of our minds going into (tonight) and hopefully we can carry that attitude onto the floor.
apart both career east legacy regular season talked title tournament won year
I think it's real important because we haven't had a year in our career where we've won both (the regular-season title and the Big East tournament). We've always won one or the other. So I think that's something that we've talked about also as being part of being apart of our legacy to be able to say that we won both regular season and tournament championships.
couple guess happens help last recognized rhythm trying
It is an honor. I guess they recognized what I have been trying to do to help the team. Over the last couple of games, it just so happens that I have been in a rhythm offensively. I have been able to get a lot done, but it has just been in the flow. It hasn't been out of the ordinary.
along good liked matter pull team together
You always want your team to play well no matter what you do. I have put together some good games, but I still don't think it's enough, because I haven't been able to pull my team along as much as I would have liked to.
along coach fame goes guess hall thirty wins
We have a Hall of Fame coach so I guess that goes along with it. Thirty wins in 11 out of 13 years ... those are Hall of Fame numbers.
anywhere best close felt games matter near row six team
We've had games where we've been close (to being complete). We've had games where we've not been anywhere near on the same planet. But it's just a matter of us really, really concentrating. And when we do we look so good. We can have six possessions in a row where we look like the best team in the country. And then we'll go through these stretches where it's like, 'Man, what are we doing out there?' And that's what it felt like (Wednesday).
