We are really trying to make a run to the playoffs right now. I feel like if we just win and take care of that stuff, those accolades will come.
Those free throws were huge. I was nervous. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't.
I'm anxious to see what the atmosphere's going to be like, ... It was pretty wild for the preseason games, but I'm sure they were saving some things for the opening night. I have no clue what it's going to be like. I just can't wait.
I felt like it but it doesn't matter. They call it how they see it and that's their job. Our job is to try to score points.
We told our kids that anything's possible. I'd be lying to you if I looked you in the eye and said we were going to come out here and beat Purdue. That's a great basketball team we just played.
Unbelievable. I told him to keep shooting and don't hesitate. When he shoots with confidence, he's a great shooter.
We scored 31 points in the first quarter tonight, then 28 in the second half. The zone bothered us like it has throughout the season -- we couldn't make shots.
Every game from here on out is a must-win. One loss could really be big for us.
We had a great team this year. A lot of people talked about us being good next year, but we thought we could make a run deep in the tournament this year, so it's tough to take.
We have a bunch of guys on this team who want to be here and everybody has confidence in each other. It's not like we're going out every game hoping that we can win. I think we're going into every game now with the confidence pretty much knowing that we can win.
We missed (21) straight shots. You can't win games if you go through stretches like that. I don't know what the cause of it was. We had a lot of open shots but they just wouldn't go in. I guess that is how it is sometimes in the NBA. We just couldn't hit a thing. We were even going to the free-throw line and missed shots from there.
We really buckled down when we had to. I think P.J. Brown 's steal was the play of the game.
We're young. We like to run. J.R. and those guys, they want to dunk and I want to see 'em dunk. So it works out great.
I've been saying all along that eventually it will happen (the triple-double) and thankfully, we got a win tonight to go along with it.
