game good test
This was a good test for us. We have to go into every game as being a battle.
needed step
It is a sense of urgency. We really needed to step it up.
amount clicking few last needed production step
With the amount of production the frontcourt has had the last few games, we really needed to step it up. This shows, when the perimeter's clicking and the frontcourt is clicking how we can play.
sensitive time
He just has a good, sensitive game. And I think with time he's going to keep getting better and better.
kept
We just kept our composure. It was a sense of urgency.
hard panic work
We didn't panic at all. Hard work, you can't really work on that. It's just something we have to do.
ball confident feeding start tonight
We just wanted to come out tonight and start it up. They were feeding us the ball from the perimeter, they're always confident in us, but they're even more confident when we're producing.
starting
Right about now, it's all or nothing. We know we had to get two starting tonight.
aggressive definitely half
Definitely frustrating. We weren't as aggressive defensively as we started the half out.
strong
I mean, we just have to...I don't know. We just have to be strong in there.
hit knew
I'm just cool. I knew I could hit them.
east guarded physical
In the Big East they like to collapse. It's more physical in the Big East, much more physical. But if I'm getting guarded one-on-one, I'm going to go with it every time.
coaches fighting final none obviously spots sure teammates
I didn't think so and I'm sure none of my teammates or coaches thought we would be in this position, actually fighting to get one of the final spots in it. But that's what we did have to do and obviously we got it done.
ball halves played saying stop together whether within
It's up to us whether we want to rotate to stop the ball or try to get that rebound. That's within ourselves. We played with that sense of urgency. Not saying that we didn't have it before, but we haven't put it together for two halves like we did (Saturday).
