denied good harder job passes played playing switched taking
They switched everything and denied passes and did a good job of taking away what we wanted to do. We just played a lot harder when we were playing well.
dictate figure good happen letting missed offense shots teams today using
A lot of it has to do with using a lot of energy, and teams kind of figure out what we're doing. Today we did a good job. A lot of it has to do with letting our offense dictate our defense. We didn't let that happen too much. We missed shots and still got back on defense.
good obviously
This is obviously not a very good feeling.
five halftime win
Someone told me I had five assists at halftime and I just laughed. It's nice, but the win is more important.

business care confidence hitting took
Dee was hitting everything. We had confidence in him and he took care of the business.
coach excited guys people taking
Coach has been on us. But the guys have been taking it pretty good. When you're winning, you kind of get cocky. You're like, 'Let's keep doing what we're doing.' Now people are more excited to learn. A lot of people are listening.
beat beats best character coach example gave good home keeping playing road run showing solid talks team win winning
Coach (Weber) always talks about how good of a team we can be. Like, he gave the example of how we beat Georgetown at home, and Georgetown beats Duke. I know it's a home win for us. But I think we're up there with some of the best teams. If we keep winning on the road and showing some character and keeping playing solid basketball, I think we can make a run at it.
basketball beat emotional game ready senior
That's why I'm not so emotional about it. It's more of a basketball game than Senior Night. If we don't come out ready to play, they're going to beat us.
coaches easier easy game maybe report scouting watch
That's fine. It's easy for us. We watch the same film and maybe the (last) game to see what we did right and wrong. The scouting report is the same. So it's easier on the coaches and easier on us.
coming lottery obviously pick pro prospects six
They have four, five, six pro prospects on their team. They'll have a lottery pick coming off their bench. They're obviously more talented.
extra notch step
We have to step it up that extra notch and play hard.
against playing practiced ready stuff
I like playing against them and we just went through their stuff and practiced for what they do. So we should be able to get ready in a hurry.
coaches enjoy happy playing ride run thinking
I'm just going to try to enjoy the ride I've had playing with Dee, the coaches and the team. That's what's going to make me happy right now, thinking about the run I've had here.
