People can talk about playoffs, playoffs, but we're just trying to get better. If we don't make the playoffs and just carry it onto next season, this is good.
Coach (Brian Hill) got on us when we were down 11-1. Then we're up by eight (points) and then the second unit came in and we were up 12, and we just kept feeding off of that. You have to outwork the opposing team regardless of who you're playing.
What we know now is that every single game during the season counts. If we win this game or win that game or just win the games that we should have won, we wouldn't be in the situation that we are having to depend on other teams.
Our record doesn't reflect the kind of team that we have right now. We're playing really well, we're bonding and we're sharing the ball.
I just see us as a team that's getting better every game. The guys on this team just care about each other so much and we're having a lot of fun now.
I owed my team, I didn't play too well. So it was an early Christmas present for those guys. Didn't play well the whole game. But I obviously I've got to find a way to get it going.
I owed my team because I didn't play too well. This was an early Christmas present for those guys.
I don't know. It's the same team. They do the same things, play the same way.
I made some free throws down the stretch. However I missed some earlier and I had to redeem myself. We are not through yet, we are only five back with 11 to go.
I consider myself -- and I think my teammates do, too -- somewhat of a tough guy, and this is the first time in my life that I've had to use crutches. I've had ankle injuries, but nothing like this. All I know is there is a lot of pain now.
A lot of dreams don't come true in life. If you can make somebody's dream come true, you should.
I don't think anybody wants to play us right now.
Youth Interlock is the A.A.U. program that brought me up. Being as though I made it, I feel its very important to give back to the community. Im have no problem putting my name on such a great event.
Everybody had to step up because we were without great players that we needed. For the most part, guys stepped up. You obviously want to win but we did all we could out there tonight.
