few fight five last minutes ncaa needed next offense points seven six solid stick team wants
In the NCAA Tournament, no team is going to go away easy. Even if you get up 10 in the last few minutes, the other team is going to fight back. Everyone wants to get to the next round. I didn't think it was going to be easy, even when we got up seven points with five or six minutes left. We just needed to stick with our offense and play solid defense.
build challenge early execute games late lead offense step win
If we have to win games late, well, we try to get them out of the way early. We try to build a lead early and execute offense late in the game. But if we have to win games like this, I think we can step up to the challenge and win them.
entire force looked offense run
They looked out of rhythm. They had to run all the way through their entire offense and then force up a shot.

They can say whatever they got to say. That's nothing.

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.

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.

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.

I'd say late in the game, probably (ex-North Carolina guard) Raymond Felton last year.

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.
