coach finish kept knew reminding
They've done that all year. We knew they were capable. Coach kept reminding us to finish them off. We knew they weren't going to give up.
committee definite hands knew lock time
You never know when it comes to the tournament. We knew we weren't a definite lock and any time you put it in the hands of a committee you never know what's going to happen.
coach gave good
Coach called a play for me, isolated, and gave me the ball. I had a good look at it and just didn't make the shot.
good job picking played spots taking unorthodox
Auburn, the way they played us, is a little unorthodox with the 1-3-1, and they did a good job of taking me out of my rhythm. I've got to do a better job picking my spots on when to attack.
chance everybody regular season win
That's how we look at it: what we did in the regular season doesn't really matter. Everybody is zero-zero, and we've got a new chance to win a championship.
defense good partly playing tough
They got some good looks, partly from us not playing defense well enough and partly from them just making tough shots.
fighting good kept knew proud runs team teams throughout
We knew they were a good team and they could make a run. We know that if good teams are going to make runs, then we have to make runs to win. We have to keep fighting, and that's why I'm proud of my team, because we kept fighting throughout this game.
chance couple ncaa win
We know we've got to win a couple more to have a chance to make the NCAA tournament.
call couple guys tight
Those first couple of minutes, guys read officials. How are they going to call it, how tight is it going to be, are you going to get away with this or that? You just have to kind of play off it.
against played remember
I remember him. He was one of the higher-ranked guys. I played against him. He was good.
again good guess luck stay whatever
Hopefully, it's good luck for us. If it works, just stay with it. Whatever we did today, I guess we'll do again on Saturday.
merely realized
Increasingly, I realized that I could not merely tell his story. Rather, I would have to tell my story about him.
ball beating control hands key
The ball is going to be in his hands all the time. The key to beating them is to control him.
expects fun game good motivation nobody playing road team
It's like a road game for us. It's going to make it a lot of fun for us, playing a good team with a lot of high-profile players. Nobody expects us to win. That's motivation for us.
