Threes can impact a game, especially when you're giving them up in a row. The crowd really wasn't in the game in the first half, but that surge got the crowd into the game, and I think it gave them a little bit of energy.
People always remember the last thing you do. This won't be the last game for us, but we can make it something memorable.
We got them to miss some shots and we got a couple of steals. If we had started the game like that, we wouldn't have gotten down by 17. It's hard to come back from 17 against anybody, but especially at Maryland.
We have an opportunity to play one game, and the only way we're gonna get another game is if we win. I think everybody in this locker room realized that.
Throughout the season, it was tough for us. There were times we'd play really good, and then bang, all of a sudden it shut off. But it's a new season for us right here. We're taking it one game at a time, one TV timeout at a time. We're just trying to win each possession.
Every game we go into, we feel like we're the favorite. Even though Florida State is a good team, you've got to have that confidence in yourself and your teammates.
That's a huge point in the game right there. They got some momentum, knocked down a couple of shots. We trust everybody on this team to come in and be ready to play, and in those two minutes they got the best of us.
I'm going to give you the ball, and you give it back to me in good shape when the game is over.
Game by game you'll see something that I get better at every game. At least, that's my goal.
