He knows the situation is not how he wants it, but he still expects a lot out of us. He expects us to bring a ring from this tournament.
biggest brought choosing coach confidence expected far glad impact reasons sat
I'm glad coach has a lot of confidence in me. When he brought me to the program, he sat me down and said he expected a lot of things out of me as far as making an impact early, so definitely, that was one of my biggest reasons for choosing Arizona.
ball expecting patient realized shot team
I was kind of overeager in some of those games, expecting to just get the ball and score. I just realized you have to play with the team. Everyone on the team can do really well, so you have to be patient and the shot will come to you.
easy evident expect problem win
They got too many easy baskets. You can't give up too many baskets like that and expect to win on the road.... It was pretty evident what the problem was.
whatever
They can say whatever they got to say. That's nothing.
dealt felt maturity rough ups
It was a rough year. There were a lot of ups and downs. But I felt we dealt with it pretty well. There's a lot of maturity on this team.
embraced last open start wait welcomed year
I can't wait to start playing. They welcomed me back with open arms. They embraced me and made me feel like it was last year again. They made me feel like I was part of the team.
carolina last late raymond
I'd say late in the game, probably (ex-North Carolina guard) Raymond Felton last year.
hopefully level next provide
I just want to get to the next level and hopefully provide for my team.
came confidence effective high league ready swagger walk wanting
It came down to me wanting to go into the league and be effective and walk in with a kind of confidence and swagger that I am ready to play at a high level.
lie playing
Playing a No. 16 seed, sometimes you think they are going to lie down and give us the win. We need to go out and take the first hit.
fans remember
Their fans. The fans were loud. Thirty-seven (points), (Ryan) Gomes had. I remember that, too.
coming deep ethic exactly freshman great help leadership potential season step taking team work
As a freshman you go in there and you step into deep water. Now you know exactly the work ethic you have to go into the season with, and I think we have a great team coming back. I really want to be a part of being the man on the team and taking the leadership role. That will help me grow. This team will have the potential to do a lot of big things.
couple free minutes physical throws tired tough
I was tired with 3 minutes left. That's about as tough as it gets. That was a physical game. I made those free throws because there were a couple of timeouts there that made it easier. I'm tired.
