He said I brought it over. I'd been doing it the whole game.
Everybody expressed themselves. Everybody just didn't really hold anything back last night, just talked. We were more encouraging, we were kind of negative because we were losing and we needed to straighten up, and we did.
I like it a lot. I plan on taking a lot of shots in that spot.
That was a big key. We broke their pressure with patience. They didn't make us play up-tempo like they wanted.
(Tennessee) played up on me and my big men kept setting screens and getting me open.
Bad. We're not communicating on defense. In the film against Indiana, they shot the ball well. But that was partly our fault too because we didn't get a lot of contests on their shots and we didn't keep it out of the post.
I knew I wanted to take the last shot. I never doubted that it would go in. When I started to penetrate, there were nine seconds left, so I knew I had to make a decision quickly. I didn't want to shoot too early and give them a chance to score on the other end.
That's the type of style I like to play. I think that's not a smart thing for a team to do, to press us. I feel like I can beat anyone off the dribble.
A big key to the game was handling their pressure, especially because we weren't shooting the ball well. We were able to break their press with patience and we didn't get into the up-tempo game that they wanted. We pushed the ball, but only when we wanted to.
That's what we don't have right now. I think a lot of guys are down right now, but we've got to stay positive. It's a long season.
I want the ball in my hands at the end of the game. I want to make something happen.
He was crowding me. I think that's the wrong way to play me. Not to be cocky.
I don't really look at it as too much of a big deal. I'm just glad we got the win. Any way you can get it.
It was a completely different style of play. I had to speed up and be more vocal to keep up with the other players.
