continue grow last team work
I don't know. For the most part, we've just got to continue doing what we do and doing what we've been doing for the last part of this season. We've got to continue to grow as a team and as individuals to make everything continue to work the way it's been working.
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.
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.
good knew last needed step team took
I knew my team needed me to step up, and at that time, I was getting some good looks. I just took them, and they went in. For the most part, that was their last run.
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.
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.
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.
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.
biggest bury screens
J.J. is a big-time player. He started off hot, but Marcus was able to get through the screens and be there on the catch. I think that's the biggest thing with J.J., because if you're not there on the catch, he'll look you down and he'll bury it right in your face. That was the biggest thing that Marcus did.
afford against fresh people running stop team
When you get tired, especially in this game, get yourself out of there so we can have fresh people in at all times so we won't have to stop running or take a play off on defense. Against a team like Duke, you can't afford that.
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.
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.
