hopefully pressure standing
Fortunately I think we're standing up to the pressure right now. Hopefully we can keep on doing what we're doing for the remainder of the year.
games league rest special win
Hopefully, we can win out the rest of the league games and end with a special ACC season.
came few missed second shots
He missed a few shots early, but he came up big for us in the second half. When you miss shots, you have to keep shooting. He missed a lot of shots that usually go in. In the end, it was the same old J.J.
analyze came good losses regroup
We've got to regroup and rebuild. We kind of have to analyze things. We're still 14-2 in the conference, so we still did a pretty good job. Our two losses just came at the end.
found
I found it unnecessary, and that's why I jumped back up. It's part of the game.
nights upset
With J.J. having nights like that, I can't be upset about being overshadowed.
both establish teams themselves top trying
Both teams are trying to establish themselves as a top team in the country.
allow defense good guards job playing
We have to do a good job playing defense on their guards and not allow them to penetrate.
happening maybe player shot thinking
Maybe he's thinking too much about his shot and his moves, but I don't see that happening in the Tournament. I think he'll be re-motivated and be the player he has been for us.
battle
It was a long, dog-fight game, and it was just a battle the whole 45 minutes.
middle opened point redeem shooting tone
I wanted to come out here and make a point and kind of redeem myself. I set the tone early. Having our shooters go out there and shooting 3s kind of opened up the middle for me.
good
They're a really good team. We know that going into their place they're going to be really up for us, and it's going to be a dogfight for 40 minutes.
consistent defense defensive grasp intensity players trying
Defense is something that we need to be more consistent on and something that we're still working on. Some players are still young and they're trying to grasp the intensity on the defensive end.
early experience guys toll took toward year
That took its toll toward the end of the season. This year we have a lot more guys to give us depth. If we give these guys experience early on, they'll be there for us later.
