banner knowing regular tournament won
That's a big thing, to have a banner up there and to go into the tournament knowing that you won the regular season.
floor guy helps honest leading mainly perfect slip telling throw time
Mainly it's Marcus, to be honest with you. Marcus is telling me a whole lot of times where to go. He'll just come up to me after a play and say, 'Next time slip that.' I'll be like, 'All right,' and he'll just throw a perfect pass. It just really helps to have a guy like him on the floor leading us.
ball caught game guys inside last nobody slapping soon stronger sure taken tough
Just really being stronger was important for us, and being tough on the inside. A lot of times we were able to get the ball inside in the last game but they would come in, and you've got guys slapping at the ball and everything and we were getting it taken from us. This game, we made sure as soon as we caught it we were ball-tough and that nobody could take the ball from us.
force game gone honestly knowing syracuse tough watch
I honestly had to force myself to watch part of the game with Syracuse and Pittsburgh. It's tough knowing it could have gone so many different ways.
found game match ourselves physical tough
They were so tough and physical we found ourselves having to match them. That was the roughest game I've been in.
definitely full hard minutes point practice seconds shot since syracuse talking
Since the Syracuse game, every practice we're talking about going hard for 40 minutes and the full 35 seconds on the shot clock. That's definitely been a point of emphasis.
case everyday focusing hard time
I don't think that is the case at all. We come out there hard to play everyday and we always give it our all. I just think we have a hard time focusing at times.
affect bit bothering knee
My knee has been bothering me a little bit but not enough to affect me. It's just one of the many things that's not going well for me right now.
accept fact willing
No one was willing to accept the fact that we were going home.
wish
I wish I knew. Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened.
among talented team three top
If we don't have the most talented team in the country, we are among the top three or four.
capable close felt happen team
We all felt that we had a team that was capable of making a championship run. It didn't happen this year. It was close, but getting close doesn't always do it.
bottom came close couple despite expected fully game games happened however last line points until whether win winning
We all fully expected to be in Indianapolis despite what happened the last couple games with the close calls. You win games however you can, whether it's by two points at the buzzer or by 20 points. The bottom line is we were winning games up until (Sunday). We came up one game short.
contested screens tried
We contested every shot. We tried to get around screens a little more than we have.
