carried changed depend freshman lead players points screen since three whatever
My freshman year, we could really depend on three players that kind of carried us. We could screen or do whatever we were asked. Now, we have to try to lead and put some points on the board. It's changed a lot since our freshman year.
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.
coming
He's a lot bigger, so he can get in there for the rebound. B.J. is not going to back off anybody. Him coming into the game, he's gong to be aggressive. That's what we need.
gotten
We may have gotten a little winded at times. But I don't think we really got tired.
hard until
I was a freshman; I didn't know anything about that tournament. I didn't really know how hard it would be until it was over. Really hard.
coach known seem
I think so, because he's such an important coach and he's known everywhere. It's going to seem a little different.
forgotten moving
We wanted to let him know we hadn't forgotten about him. We'll keep it moving for him.
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.
downs memorable season tough ups
We had a tough season -- we had a lot of ups and downs -- but at the end, it was memorable for us.
battles both build came good high knew school talked
You always had those battles in high school and we've talked about the old days. It was fun. I knew both before I came here and it was good to build those relationships.
focused game hard keeping name staying year
We've been working hard the whole year just to get our name out there. But we're staying focused and keeping it one game at a time.
cool ended
I think I did cool. He ended up with 35. I mean, it's not 40.
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).
