everybody fear gives giving respect talks
I respect him, but everybody talks about the fear factor. There's nothing like that. If he gives me 50 (points), and we win, it's whatever. If he gives me 50, and we lose, I'm still going to be giving my best.
forgotten moving
We wanted to let him know we hadn't forgotten about him. We'll keep it moving for him.
catch expose happen hurting nerves sleeping
We'd be hurting if we didn't have Keenan. Keenan is the kind of person that will always keep you honest. He'll try to catch you sleeping on a play or try to expose you. That's the kind of thing that will happen in a game. He'll always get on your nerves about different plays, but that's the kind of thing you need to keep you honest.
knock mental miss shoot starts thinking
We're thinking about it too much. When it starts getting mental, that's when you miss shots. I don't think we're struggling; we shoot every day in practice, and we knock them down. It's just a mental thing.
eventually knocking players shooting shots start stay talented thinking trust
We're thinking about it too much. We just have to stay with it and trust each (other), and eventually shots will start knocking down. It's not a big deal. We've got a lot of really talented players who have been shooting all their life, so they'll come back around.
against aggressive anytime ask decent guards hard job looking shot solid stop though three
They've got three really solid guards. Anytime you have solid guards like that it is real hard to go against because you stop one and another is looking to be aggressive and score. I think we did a decent job on them. They shot a lot of shots. Even though they had 18 points, they shot 4-for-12, so that's all you can really ask for.
amongst dealing inside man savage time tough
They've got a savage inside with Withers. He's a man. He's a man amongst boys. We'll have a tough time dealing with him.
averaged brian everybody looking losing open points
It was a big change. It's a whole lot more open now. Brian averaged 16 points for us, and losing that, we have to make up for it. Everybody was looking to be more aggressive.
helps points
That helps a lot. We have to make up points for Thornton.
guy
With him being on the floor, he's a lot bigger, a guy that can get in there and rebound. B.J.'s ... going to be aggressive. That's what we need ... off the bench.
effort minutes
We got a chance, 40 minutes away from actually making it to the Tournament. We'll need even more effort (tonight).
tonight unless win
Tonight it kind of did, but I don't want to say too much unless we win (the championship). I think if we actually get it, it will, but not yet, not now.
best harder knowing
Going into the tournament, knowing what's at stake, we were going to do our best and try to play harder than we had. In that tournament, we showed a lot of heart.
