lie minutes syracuse team thinking within
We can't get bigheaded. We can't just think every team is going to lie down after we get a big victory. We were thinking Syracuse was going to lie down after those first 30 minutes and they actually crawled back to get within two possessions. You can't do that.
help sweet team thinking trying
Washington, D.C.. That's all I was thinking about ? going to D.C. I've never been to the Sweet 16. I was trying to help my team get there.
bow felt good granted played thinking took
Now before we played Marquette, we felt a little too good and went out there and took it for granted thinking they were going to bow down and let us get the victory. But now, I think we're still focused.
coach family focusing game sit thinking
I have to sit down with coach (Jim Calhoun) and sit down with my family. I'm still just thinking about the game. I've just been focusing on game after game, not thinking about the future.
elite great season solid won
I think we had a solid season. We had 30 wins. That's a big season for us. We won the Big East. We got to the Elite Eight. It's a great season, but I think we could have done a lot more.
defensive proved reckoned starting stepped team
I think we proved that this team is still to be reckoned with in the Pac-10. Starting on the defensive end, we just stepped it up.
proved reckoned team
I think we proved that this team is still to be reckoned with in the Pac-10.
clicking good
I think so. When we come out clicking and we're all on the same page, we're a pretty good team.
drift rebounds saw shooting tried
I saw it was kind of long, so I tried to just drift to the other side. I've never had 10 rebounds. Ever. I never had 10 rebounds shooting by myself.
came coming knew missing needed whoever
We've needed that all year, coming and not missing a beat, so whoever came in we knew it was the same intensity.
fire
Play With Fire, ... there's no iBook in team.
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.
funny handle harsh prepared
I think I'm prepared for it, just because of my personality and the way I am. I know there's going to be some harsh things, some funny things. I'm going to try and take it all in as a joke, go out there and handle my business.
easier half realized second trying
I think I kind of realized in the second half that it was easier to penetrate, because they were overplaying so much. I think I just realized it too late. In the first half, I was just trying to get us in our offense.
