I thought this was a home game for us. When they cut it to seven, (the crowd noise) shocked me.
against attitude felt four hungry odds playing prove small tournament wanting
I think we kind of felt like the odds were against us all year, being small and playing with the four guards, and I think that's got to be the same attitude that we go into the tournament with. We have to go in hungry and wanting to prove ourselves.
deal home practice
I think being at home and being comfortable makes a big difference. Not having to find a place to practice . . . There's so many things to deal with logistically when you're traveling, that this just makes it better for us.
amazed basketball confident court summer
It has amazed me how confident he has become in his intellect. The first day on the basketball court here, he was not intimidated. But that summer going to class, he was. It was very obvious. He was scared.
