break definitely emerging gives guys last leaders looking shook step stretch
Other guys started talking, and I just shook my head. That kind of gives me a break sometimes, when other guys step up and say things and aren't just looking at me. Other leaders are emerging on this team, and that's something we're definitely going to need, especially going down this last little stretch that we have.
nights
You're going to have nights when you don't play as well. We just have to not fold.
came definitely half second shot
That was a big shot for us, and then when we came out in the second half we just came out with that much more firepower, and I think that definitely put us over the hump.
arizona beginning couple game guys last playing slide taken though trying
We've taken a slide the last couple of games. We're trying to get back to where we were at the beginning of the season. We're trying to get guys having fun, concentrate on doing the right things during the game and playing hard. Even though it's Arizona (and not an ACC team) it's a big game for us confidence-wise and to get back on track.
caliber knew left players
We know what we lost, and we know what we have. I knew the caliber of players we had left on this team.
lost team
I'm lost for words. I have no idea what's really going on with this team right now. It's kind of tough. I really don't know what to say to these guys. I don't know. It just hurts.
felt good high realistic
I had high expectations for this team. I felt we could be good and we had realistic goals.
attacked ball came definitely good half hometown locked second stepped turn
In the second half we came out and attacked more offensively and locked down on defense. We made them turn the ball over a lot more than we did. (Terry) definitely stepped up and made big shots. It was his hometown so he wanted to come up here and play good and he did.
arms talking
He started talking to his arms and to the weights. He was just crazy.
bench extra finishing free gave great job lift running spark
Byron did a great job of running the floor, finishing and making some free throws. His lift off the bench gave us that extra spark that we needed.
foul great performance trouble
I told him that we were going to come down here and get us one. But he had a great performance tonight. He got me in foul trouble early, so I couldn't play him like I wanted to.
ball bank feeling felt good knew time
It started feeling good after the bank shot, and I kind of knew it was my night. After that, the ball started feeling really good in my hands. It felt like everything I let go was going to go in, and most of the time it did.
ball bit break closer couple days decision drive finish game inside last mix offense people running send stronger time trying
That's a part of my game I've been working on the last couple of days in practice. I've been trying to drive the ball more and get inside and get closer to the rim and finish stronger that way. At times we're going to have to break off the offense and send the offense running through me. That decision is going to be up to me. I'm not going to try and do too much but at the same time I'm trying to mix it up a little bit so people won't know what's coming.
exactly fearless game
They're going in fearless because they have no idea what to expect. They go out and play their game and do exactly what we need them to do.
