felt good high realistic
I had high expectations for this team. I felt we could be good and we had realistic goals.
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.
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.
feels home legs playing shot sweet
Playing at home is always great. When you're at home sweet home, your legs are good, you feel the shot good, everything feels good. We really like that.
players type
Big players show up in big times games. That's the type of player he's been all year.
experience glad people
Man, it was a blast. I'm glad I was here for it. I got to experience it, and a lot of people don't.
calm coach job last people satisfying season sit teach team watch williams year
It's so satisfying to know we could do things some people didn't think we could. In some ways, Coach Williams is doing a better job with this team than he did last season. I mean, last season he could sometimes sit back and watch the show. This year he is more calm and has had to teach more. And it has shown.
average chance coming guys higher players slight stepped three
It wasn't anything like a slight to me. Those were just the facts. We got a chance to let other players play this year, and guys stepped up. Now if they say 'I'm coming back,' my average would be a lot higher than three points.
definitely fans mean satisfying wins
We've had some big wins on the road, and this was definitely satisfying for us -- to see their fans leave. Especially as mean as they are.
game stop wins
We didn't really play our game today. That's something that we're going to have to stop doing if we're going to get big wins in the ACC.
forward looking
We still feel like this is a big-time game. We've been looking forward to this all season.
break coming fast good hard job key playing rookies running staying teammates
We're coming together. Playing hard is key for us and running the fast break is key for us. The rookies are coming in, the newcomers are coming in. We're doing a good job right now. My teammates are staying together, which is a good thing.
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.
