everybody fear gives giving respect talks
I respect him, but everybody talks about the fear factor. There's nothing like that. If he gives me 50 (points), and we win, it's whatever. If he gives me 50, and we lose, I'm still going to be giving my best.
battles both build came good high knew school talked
You always had those battles in high school and we've talked about the old days. It was fun. I knew both before I came here and it was good to build those relationships.
forgotten moving
We wanted to let him know we hadn't forgotten about him. We'll keep it moving for him.
cool ended
I think I did cool. He ended up with 35. I mean, it's not 40.
coach known seem
I think so, because he's such an important coach and he's known everywhere. It's going to seem a little different.
catch expose happen hurting nerves sleeping
We'd be hurting if we didn't have Keenan. Keenan is the kind of person that will always keep you honest. He'll try to catch you sleeping on a play or try to expose you. That's the kind of thing that will happen in a game. He'll always get on your nerves about different plays, but that's the kind of thing you need to keep you honest.
downs memorable season tough ups
We had a tough season -- we had a lot of ups and downs -- but at the end, it was memorable for us.
focused game hard keeping name staying year
We've been working hard the whole year just to get our name out there. But we're staying focused and keeping it one game at a time.
gotten
We may have gotten a little winded at times. But I don't think we really got tired.
effort minutes
We got a chance, 40 minutes away from actually making it to the Tournament. We'll need even more effort (tonight).
guy
With him being on the floor, he's a lot bigger, a guy that can get in there and rebound. B.J.'s ... going to be aggressive. That's what we need ... off the bench.
knock mental miss shoot starts thinking
We're thinking about it too much. When it starts getting mental, that's when you miss shots. I don't think we're struggling; we shoot every day in practice, and we knock them down. It's just a mental thing.
eventually knocking players shooting shots start stay talented thinking trust
We're thinking about it too much. We just have to stay with it and trust each (other), and eventually shots will start knocking down. It's not a big deal. We've got a lot of really talented players who have been shooting all their life, so they'll come back around.
tonight unless win
Tonight it kind of did, but I don't want to say too much unless we win (the championship). I think if we actually get it, it will, but not yet, not now.
