happy last problems understand
We understand that we can't be happy with one or two wins. I think that was one of our problems last year.
game happen last plays smart understand weight
There are times when we tighten up and put the weight of the world on our shoulders. We don't make smart plays or understand the game situation. It's just the little things that didn't happen last year.
good knows last sophomore team
That team my sophomore year, we thought we were too good. Last year, we didn't think we were good enough. This team knows it's good, but it's not overconfident.
last learned tough
It's a tough job, but over the last two years I've learned how to do it. It's fun.
everybody harder last league past people plays record respect slow sneak surprised team
It's going to be harder than it was last year. We were able to sneak up on people last year, with our past record and our slow start. People were surprised with how we were able to play. I think this year, I think we have the respect from everybody in the league that we're going to be a team that plays hard every night. So, we're going to have to play harder.
early easy
I think early on, we thought everything would come easy for us.
chances formula limits percent shooting success
Our formula for success is our defense. When they're shooting plus-50 percent each game, that limits our chances to win.
earlier game games mature season starting team win
This was a game that earlier in the season we probably would not have won. We have really started to mature as a team and we're starting to win games like this.
adversity execute offensive overcome team throughout
We were able to execute on the offensive end. We know this team is going to (have to) overcome a lot of adversity throughout the year, and we showed that tonight.
elite games national sweet toughest
Some of your toughest games come in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. Usually, this is where we feel national championships are won.
bounce found legitimate tough
That was probably my first legitimate tough stretch. I always found a way to bounce back.
high start
That's the story all year. We start to tighten up. It's frustrating because we had such high expectations, and we're not getting it done.
felt good plays takes team whatever win
It felt good to make some big plays for my team down the stretch. Whatever it takes for this team to win is what I'm going to do.
answers causes consistent definitely figure great mediocre next night takes team terrible trying watched whatever
We watched a lot of film, just trying to get answers and trying to figure out what causes us to play that way. We were definitely embarrassed by a mediocre team. We don't want to be a team that's great one night and terrible the next night. We have to do whatever it takes to be a consistent team.
