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.
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.
beat east focusing game ncaa winning
It's a game we need to win. We're not focusing on winning the Big East, the Big East standings, the NCAA standings, whatever. They beat us the first time, so we have to get this win.
bad felt fine missed obviously win
I felt fine (at the free-throw line). I never feel bad at the free-throw line. I'm not really nervous. I just missed them. They just didn't go in. I'm disappointed. They were obviously big things for us to win the game.
doubt game mind win
There was no doubt in my mind the whole game I thought we were going to win. I mean, why play if you think you're going to go out there and not win a game?
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.
bring expects knows situation wants
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.
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.
