easy figured trying
We're just trying to get this thing figured out and there are no easy answers.
fun key
We're having fun with each other and we're having fun with the game. I think that's the key at this point.
goal hope next selection until win worry
I would hope (we're in), but hey, you never know until Selection Sunday. Our goal is to win this tournament. We'll worry about the next one when it comes.
feeds game stay trash
I'm not a big trash talker. He feeds off that, so we'll still play our game and try to stay away from that.
free guys hopefully leave
I know they're not going to leave me, because if they do I'll make them pay. Hopefully I'll be able to free up some of the other guys on the court.
ball cuts execution harder key movement plays running second stepped
I think our execution really stepped up in the second half. We started making harder cuts and really concentrating on running our plays correctly. That was probably the key to the ball movement and better shots.
body earlier felt knew screen
I had set a screen on him earlier and he plowed right over me. So I felt if he did it again, I was going down. I knew he'd try and body me down.
gets great guy needs rhythm starts
He's a guy who just needs to get in his rhythm. He's a rhythm player, and once he gets in his rhythm he starts making really great plays.
couple hours hurt shoulder
I hurt my shoulder pretty good. I'm still questionable right now. I got a couple more hours of rest, so we'll so how it goes.
believe reality thinking
It's difficult. You tell yourself that, but you don't believe it. You always feel like there's another game. You know, the reality is, it's do or die. And I think I'm going to play like that.
gets hit stop tough zone
He really hit his rhythm. He started getting to the basket. He's tough to stop once he gets in a zone like that.
basket battle beat fight figured trying underneath won
I figured I was going to keep going at them, keep being aggressive. They beat us up underneath the basket ... and we were just trying to fight them. I think we won the battle tonight.
chance gave hit second shots tonight
Suhr gave us a lot of second chance opportunities tonight and he was able to hit some big shots for us too.
learn lose
It's embarrassing to lose by 20 points. We have to learn from these experiences.
