bench calmed nervous sitting
I don't usually get nervous for games, but I was nervous. I was sitting on the bench with two fouls and couldn't get calmed down.
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.
looked needed obviously stay weird
They sprang it on us and it obviously worked. I think they were in kind of a weird zone. There were times when they were in a 1-3-1, it looked like, and times they were in a 2-3. They did everything they needed to do to stay in the game.
active against carrying energy hit pressure takes time
Being more active takes a lot of the pressure off Dee. He's been carrying us lately. I wanted to come out with energy and hit the boards. I didn't play well the first time against them.
bad gives home lost motivation players team
Some of the players on our team have never lost at home. Dee (Brown) and I have only lost once, and that was a pretty bad feeling. It gives us motivation to win.
foul hear
I get it all the time. Even when I'm not in foul trouble, I hear about it.
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.
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.
business care confidence hitting took
Dee was hitting everything. We had confidence in him and he took care of the business.
families nice parents playing
It's a nice place for the families to go. We're just going to play basketball. I know if we were playing on Mars, our parents would have come anyway.
boot clue hopefully lifting luckily next riding treatment turned within
It could have been broken, but luckily it turned out to only be a sprain. I got the boot off and I've been riding a bike, lifting and doing treatment to get stronger. I have no clue when I'll be back but hopefully within the next two weeks. I just need time, then I need to get back into shape.
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.
bench calm nervous sitting
I never get nervous for games. I don't know why, but I couldn't calm down. I was even sitting on the bench with two fouls being nervous.
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.
