free shot time
Every time I shot free throws, there he was shaking. It was nasty.
aggressive dropping finding guards open point second shots
I just started being more aggressive in the second half. The point guards were finding me and I was getting open shots. My shots started dropping and I was getting kind of hot.
missing shots surprised
It surprised me. I was getting the shots I wanted, I just was missing them. I was getting frustrated, I just couldn't get myself into the game.
coming doubt doubts game picked shots
I thought the game was about done. We had big doubts about coming back. Then the shots started falling, and we picked it up on defense.
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.
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.
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.

I don't think it'll be tough. A streak is a streak. Everybody loses a streak once in awhile.

Gymnastics. I was 10 and doing a back flip and broke my elbow so bad the bone was sticking out.
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.
