feeling hands pass ready
You have to be ready for him. I can tell when he's going to pass. When he's feeling it, he's going to shoot. When he's having an off day, I know he's going to pass it so my hands are up.
coming free good helps mad mario points pressure ready relieve russell shooting starting
Russell coming back in was a real big deal. He helps relieve the pressure a lot on me and Mario (Chalmers, 21 points of 6-of-9 shooting and 6-of-9 free throwing), and he's starting to become a real good scorer. He was ready to get back out there. He was pretty mad about getting the two fouls.
best debate ground neutral ready settle team time
It's a debate out there as to who's the best team in the conference. It's time to settle who that is. We're ready for it. It's going to be pretty exciting. This time it's going to be on neutral ground so it'll be a lot more even.
cool happy playing wondering
Julian is always playing around... non-stop even when everyone else is serious. He's happy over everything. At first, I was wondering about him, but I like that. He's a cool guy.
broke hate lead sleeping woke
Nah, I hate it. I was still kind of sleeping in the first half. I woke up, though, when they broke into our lead in the first half.
league locker sports stepping talking
We were just talking about that in the locker room, about how league play is different, and we're stepping up.
everybody loses streak
I don't think it'll be tough. A streak is a streak. Everybody loses a streak once in awhile.
bad bone broke elbow flip sticking
Gymnastics. I was 10 and doing a back flip and broke my elbow so bad the bone was sticking out.
free shot time
Every time I shot free throws, there he was shaking. It was nasty.
came knew special team
We all came in being this and that. But we don't have egos. We want to be a team. We knew we had to be something special for this team to do something, but we knew we had to do it together. I think we've done that.
bad floor good practice work
I was surprised. He didn't really say anything to them at halftime. All he said was they weren't getting on the floor enough. I don't think they're down about it. They just feel bad they didn't come with all they got tonight. I don't think they're down. They'll just come to practice tomorrow, work real hard, and get back on coach's good side.
anybody happen lost seeing
I underestimated them a little bit, seeing how they lost to Nebraska. But that won't happen again. We won't underestimate anybody any more.
came
It was an embarrassment. They came out and manhandled us.
body language mad playing
(Saturday), even my body language wasn't good. I got mad at myself out there. I'm not playing relaxed. I just need to be more aggressive.
