tremendous
Rutgers is for real. We have a tremendous team.
game played team virginia west win won zone
There was no way I could win this game for us. They played a 2-3 zone and I can't do it by myself. It's a team game and West Virginia played as a team. We did not play as a team offensively or defensively. There was no way I could have won this game for us.
box easier elevate game jump means might small
They elevate our game to another level. They're quicker, faster, they can jump higher. So that means you have to play smart. You might have to box them out so they can't jump over you. Or when you're elevating on your shot, you might have to elevate even more just because they can jump higher. The small things like that, they make the game easier for us.
team thinking games
It's hard [arriving just before the game], but it's more mental than anything. I think I prepared myself as I was coming over mentally, to not think about being fatigued or anything, just to be ready to help the team.
dream knowing overwhelming
It's just overwhelming just knowing your dream is here in front of you.
aggressive attack defense jump starts
We need to attack to be successful. We didn't do that, and they were aggressive. When you play aggressive on defense it jump starts the offense.
definitely love press
The press definitely got us going. That's our game: we love to attack, we love to run, we love to press.
feed four front gonna tried
We've tried for four years, and it's big to come in here like this. We're gonna feed off that, but there's also still a lot in front of us.
fifth knew step time year
I knew what I had to do. This is my fifth year here. I've been through this before. It was my time to step up.
care continue honors work
I just have to continue to work hard. The honors will take care of themselves.
capable free given night surprised team worried
I'm not surprised at all. I know what this team is capable of on any given night and as long as we play free I'm not worried at all.
definitely focus quite remember run sure temple
I'm definitely quite sure they're going to give us a run for our money. But we just have to come in and focus and just always remember that Temple loss.
attempted
I don't want to say we got complacent, We attempted to play hard.
character felt fight scoring shows
I felt unstoppable. (Dickson) is a scoring threat, no doubt. ... It shows a lot about our character that we were able to fight and not give up.
