Sean Singletary Quotations

We're real confident at home. Everybody's knocking down shots and things like that, getting to loose balls. But that's typical of a young team because being young, playing at home, you're in your comfort zone. Going away, you're uncomfortable, the crowd is against you and you've just got to be disciplined and focus in.

When he hit that, I knew he was going to be hot.

I couldn't pick, I'd give it to both of them.

I always like being presented with a challenge and seeing what I can do against those type of guys.

J.R.'s man was playing off him with help defense, expecting me to come off looking to score - which I was. But J.R. was wide open so I gave him the ball and he took it from there.

I think they were expecting me to come up. But J.R. was wide open so I gave the ball to him and he made the shot.

It doesn't surprise us, because we know we've been working. If you've been putting the work in and doing the extra stuff, the results should be positive.

I thought it was definitely going in. But you can't put everything you did over the last 39 minutes and 59 seconds into one shot.

We're buying into what he's saying. He's been preaching to us since he first stepped foot in Charlottesville. It feels like everybody is really responding to what he's saying. When it comes game time, it's really showing.

We don't feel we played as well as we should have. We got beat on a lot of plays, just being lazy. We have to mature more as a team. ? It's been costing us all year, our lack of concentration. And it definitely was on display tonight.

We had multiple chances to take control of the game, but we just didn't do it. Bottom line, we didn't deserve to win.

We've done a lot better than expected overall. The next challenge for us is to win on the road.

We just didn't come out with any energy or focus, and they took advantage of it. We've got to get everybody on the same page so we can make a run.

We haven't gotten comfortable on the road all year. Every road game it has been the same case.

We didn't come into this game with a lot of energy but we were able to regain our focus and execute a little bit.

We have to come off screens hard and just get open shots. If we can jump on them early, we can put them away.

This was the best game I've seen J.R. play.

We just fell down mentally. We just caved in.

The routine is definitely different, but it's still whatever you can do to get focused.

It was very frustrating. It's tough to see your teammates out there battling, and you can't help them.

That team effort is what makes great teams. We're not a great team, but we are building toward it.

It will be a huge game. We just have to be ready. Every ACC game is a must-win.

It really doesn't matter what type of game I had. We lost and my season is over, and they're still playing.

It's a lack of discipline, a lack of maturity. These things are unacceptable. Now, we've got to turn the page.

It's on our shoulders, the scoring. We didn't really keep up our end of the bargain, I don't think. We gotta put all the responsibility on our shoulders, because we're the captains. We're the leaders. We're the most talented players on the team, and that's what we've chosen to do from day one. It would be nice to have more production, but we can't expect that.

It's frustrating. Because even though people don't think so, we're a good enough team to win all these games. We're always in position.

The next challenge is for us to win on the road.

It's something we have to address. Our road woes are something we have to take care of.

They were more disciplined than us. They had more focus on the task at hand.

It's real important, just like every game in our league is. We only have five games left, so we need to have the mindset to win and stay focused on those 40 minutes. We have to come out of the gate real strong against them, because they are a talented team.

It's real frustrating, being on the bench and seeing my teammates going out there without me, battling. ... I'm always disappointed when I'm not playing the best that I can and I'm not playing up to my potential. I really just try to go in the gym and fix it, get a lot of shots up and clear my mind.

Their whole team had a lot of energy, way more than us. That's why we lost. We didn't have enough energy when the game started. We lost the game in the first couple minutes because we didn't have the look of hunger or determination on our faces.

I didn't have much in the tank. I was just running off pure adrenalin.

I feel I got a decent look at it. It just didn't go in, but there are a lot of little things during the game we didn't do that was the deciding factor.

He's one of our primary scorers, so I knew that I was going to have to pick up some of the scoring load. I was able to do that, and we got the win.
