defense forward game good last looking pride
We're going to try to have as good a game as last time. We take pride in our defense here. It's going to be a battle, but I'm looking forward to it.
add easily fuel game guys lost shows
We easily could have lost that game to Notre Dame. The way the young guys played, it just shows they're not going to give up. We don't want to lose. If we do, it'll add fuel to the fire.
biggest continue felt free game practice since team throws weakness
I felt confident. Ever since the Marquette game, every day I've been working on my free throws before and after practice with the coaches. Apparently, I just need to continue working on it. It's probably the biggest weakness in my game right now. I let my team down.
against confidence east games great ncaa playing teams tournament
We got a lot of confidence from it and it's something we're going to use in the NCAA tournament. The Big East tournament is a lot like the NCAA tournament. You're playing games back-to-back. You're playing against great teams every night.
games learned prepare season stay stuff type
There is so much stuff I can take away from this season and go back and look at. I learned about how to better prepare myself for each game, what I need to do on off-days, the type of stuff I need to do in between games so I stay fresh.
emphasis game lead obviously post
We wanted to put the emphasis on our post game with Padgett out. We did that. We obviously got out to a big lead because of that.
game last
It's going to be interesting to see where we end up. That last game is very important.
game hard hard-work prepare prepared special work
We didn't do anything special to prepare for the game or do anything differently. We put in hard work and prepared for this game just like any other.
control definitely easy games good left teams
We definitely feel like we control our own destiny, but at the same time, we don't feel there are any easy games that we have left. We still have a lot of good teams left to play, but we definitely feel like we're good enough to get through it.
feed game points position push sure teammates
They got me tired, but I had to push through it. There are points in the game where my teammates feed off me. I have to make sure I get back on defense, and just get in position where I can make plays.
against emphasis five four game guys main scoring sending thinking throughout
They had four or five guys they were sending in throughout the game and I wasn't really thinking much about scoring against them. My main emphasis was rebounding.
came east fighting game good guys job last scholars-and-scholarship typical wins
This is a typical Big East game. Even this game came right down to the last shot. The guys did a good job fighting back. It's going to be like this day-in and day-out. There's no gimme wins in this conference.
constant demanding fast games hardest physically running
Lacrosse is fast paced and I like fast paced games. It's demanding physically and has the hardest conditioning of any sport. You are always running if you are not sprinting. It's constant movement.
coach drill game good great job knows matter people practice reasons team
He does a great job of getting people to play their best. One of the reasons we are such a good team is that every day in practice is like a game to us. Everything we do is competitive, and everything we do we want to win, no matter what the drill is. He knows you have to coach everyone differently.
