counted everybody feels great people prove team win

ability asked average close game guy per points score shoot somewhere team wants whatever

They've done it, and now here's our opportunity to do it against a team that's done it before. This is one of those barriers this university has not gotten over. We have an opportunity to get that out of the way and move on.
bring gets head late mad morale needs season team
I can't get mad about things. It's too late in the season to get mad. The team needs me to be successful. So if I get mad about that and if I pout about my situation, I'll bring the team morale down and everything just gets worse. So I've just got to keep my head up.
four last players post starting
We have a lot of big dudes, and that's different. We got a lot of big guards. We're able to do things now that we weren't able to do last year. We're more of a well-rounded team.

Last year, we kind of got lulled to sleep. We didn't play until Sunday, and we sat around for two days.

I was taking top-of-the-key shots because I was wide open and he wasn't guarding me. People underestimate our ability. We have a lot of people that can make plays. I can make plays. Bobby can make plays. Mike can make plays. They even left Appleby open.
