figured four great job lock quick saw score somebody step three
I saw him score three or four quick buckets and I just said there's no way he can score anymore. If he does, they're going to try and take over the game. He was doing a great job out there and I just figured somebody had to step up and lock him down.
block exactly focus great job motivating realized situation stuff time worry
I think he realized the situation and that this probably wasn't the time for screaming. He did a great job of motivating us and getting us to focus on exactly what we need to do and block out all the other stuff and don't worry about the score.
basketball beat college comebacks duke greatest history tops
I have been a part of one of the greatest comebacks in college basketball history when we beat Duke two years ago. This tops that.
four great last playing
It's great to see him playing well and great to see him playing defense, doing all the things he's been doing for the last four years.
almost basically finding game great jason people played scoring
He played a great first half. He was scoring at will. He was finding people for the wide-open shots. He was rebounding, too. He was doing basically everything. It was almost like a Jason Kidd-type game for him.
against coming game great kentucky minutes starts time until win work
It's great, especially in a game like that, to get a win like that against a great Kentucky team, but at the same time we still have a lot of work to do. Coming in, it was 80 minutes until Washington. Now it's 80 minutes until Indianapolis. That's what it is, and it starts with 40 minutes against Washington.
believe challenge deal great hard playing prepared realize require work
I realize this will require a great deal of hard work on my part, but believe that I am prepared for the challenge of playing in the NBA.
best game great hopefully huge monday normally players start syracuse time worked
And hopefully by that time things will be worked out. Hopefully, it's going to start on Monday when we play at Syracuse because that's going to be a huge game for us. Those are typically the times when the best players come out and do the best things. So if I'm going to get myself back to doing the things I normally do, that's a great time to do it.
against basketball chance defense great half offense ourselves redeem second shooting team took west
A chance to redeem ourselves. We just weren't ourselves in the Villanova game. They took us out of our offense and defense and in the second half we didn't get out on shooters as much as we could. If we do the same thing against West Virginia, it's going to be the same thing because they're a great three-point shooting team as well.
alter beat block challenge knows point somebody whether
I think at this point just about everyone knows when they come down the lane, even if they do beat the first man, there's going to be somebody there to challenge the shot. Whether they block it or just alter the shot.
force main run running tough
Just being tough and running. Those are the two main things. We?re going to have to be tough every play. We?re going to have to not let them force us out of our offense, and we?re going to have to run as much as we can, especially the big men.
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.
again figured happen nights tonight
Just never let up. I thought we had really figured that out, but tonight was one of those nights where it happened. I don't think it will ever happen again with us.
close five four kept key needed second shots stayed stops tough within
It always is. That's how they really stayed in the game. They were just really, really tough tonight. They didn't let us get a 10-point cushion. They kept it within four or five all second half. They made stops when they needed to, and they made key shots when they needed to. So, it was close down the stretch.
