against bounce game hitting runs start
We're doing this every game. Every game, game after game. We're up against Villanova and they start hitting threes. They start making runs and we don't know how to bounce back.
coach expects games instead nobody plan player tells thinking win
Coach always tells us we have to find a way. It's what we have to do, instead of thinking what we could do if we had this player or this player. Nobody expects us to win any games from here on out, so we just have to plan on a lot of upsets.
game start
Intensity, it ain't there. We come out at the start of the game slow.
beginning everybody figured game prove somebody win
The intensity, it just isn't there. Beginning of the season, everybody figured us not to win a game (in the Big East), and right now, that's the way it's going. Me, personally, I want to prove somebody wrong.
feels good talk win
It feels good to not have to talk about what we could have done to win and talk about what we did to win.
dig
We've got to come out and get a win. There's nothing to it. We have to dig down and play hard.
fighting fights-and-fighting hopefully pull sooner
We have to keep fighting and hopefully pull one out sooner or later.
call definitely hit surprised
He hit me on the forearm. I was definitely surprised they didn't call it.
took
We took them for granted. If we don't play hard, we took them for granted.
anybody convinced guys line
If we're not convinced that we can play with people, then we'll never be convinced. I think most of our guys are convinced that we can just line up with anybody out there.
against body guys time weigh weight
I could tell a real difference, and it made me proud. His body has always had its own idea of how much weight it should hold, and he's put in a lot of time to get where he can body up against guys who weigh 260 or 270.
against basketball best came guys laid played ranked
Guys came out and just laid it all on the floor. We played our best basketball against ranked teams. We can play with these guys at this level.
home means
He had to come home for me, and I think this means a lot to him because he wasn't able to do that.
dig kindness
We kind of let up, and that's when they went on the 8-0 run. We can't let up. When we have the momentum, we have to find a way to dig deep.
