I've hit big shots, big plays, but this is the biggest play I've ever made. This was great. Coming off a four-game skid, to get a tough win like that is just tremendous.
dead gerry
Gerry is a champion, and without him, we'd be dead in the water.
assertive behind carry chance finish gotta guards main offense plays rely teammates whenever
I think the main thing is I gotta be patient. I have to finish plays whenever I get a chance just be more assertive on offense. My offense comes from my guards getting me shots. You just got to put (struggles) behind you and you got to rely on your teammates to carry you.
great job team
They play team ball. They did a great job getting to where we wanted to go (on offense).

The summer was just horrible after that because you're constantly thinking about that game and you can't wait for the next season. We definitely don't want to go out like we did last year.

Without Jerry, we'd be dead in the water. He keeps on hitting those big shots.
against backs complete games looking losing picture playing since three understand wall
We've been looking at the big picture since two or three games ago when we were on the losing streak. We understand if we keep playing like this, we ain't going to no place but the NIT, so we know our backs are against the wall right now and we need a complete turnaround.
beaten bring league team worst
You can get beaten by any team on any night. The worst team in the league can beat you if you don't bring your A-game.
defensive games great losing offense tough worrying
We were worrying about the games we were losing too much, we were worrying about offense too much. We had to get back to us being a defensive team. We are a great defensive team, and I think we showed that tonight. We made it tough for them to score.
