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.
beginning best guards hurt knocking open presence rotation shots
At the beginning of the game, it was just me on him. At times, we would double, and our rotation wasn't the best it should be. Their guards were getting open shots and knocking them down. That hurt us just by his presence in there.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
arms talking
He started talking to his arms and to the weights. He was just crazy.
cowboy gets ridden riding
Man, he gets ridden more than a cowboy riding his horse.
nights
You're going to have nights when you don't play as well. We just have to not fold.
confidence drop needed virginia
I wouldn't say we were desperate, but it was very much needed for us. Especially after the confidence drop that we had after the Virginia game.
felt good high realistic
I had high expectations for this team. I felt we could be good and we had realistic goals.
