ball great guards harder helping job reason whatever
They did a great job of helping off on me. Sometimes the ball doesn't get into me for whatever reason. ... It was harder for the guards to get me the ball than usual.
against ball boards charlotte coming games good job physical rebound team
I think it's become a sense of desperation to some extent. We know that when we play games like Charlotte - we have another game coming up against a physical team in UC who does a good job on the boards - if we don't rebound the ball well, we're not going to win.
conference good shot teams winning
I think we're one of the better teams in this conference. I think we have as good of a shot as any of winning a conference championship.
bad ball diving felt guy heard hit hurt knew picked scramble situation team
It was a scramble situation. I picked up the ball and they had a guy on their team diving for the ball, and he hit my leg, and that was pretty much the end of it. It really didn't hurt as bad as I would have expected. ... As the situation stood, I felt it and heard it, so I pretty much immediately knew I was done for the year.
appreciate guys
It showed the guys still see me as a big part of the team. I just really appreciate that.
anybody ball beat defense good happens hard quite turned
It's disappointing. We turned the ball over quite a bit. When that happens and our defense isn't as good as it was, it's going to be hard for us to beat anybody in this conference.
anybody brown copyright happened hard history opinion people tend worry
My opinion is that Brown probably doesn't have much to worry about because it's hard to copyright history. The same thing happened with 'Roots.' Anybody who has a best-selling novel, people tend to come out of the woodwork.
game lost overall
I don't know. This was a big game and we wanted to come out and play hard. And at times we did, but overall we just lost it.
