chance fighting gym knowing last leave talking walk year
One thing we've been talking about all year is having no regrets. The seniors, this is our last chance, and we don't want to leave anything to chance and walk out of a gym knowing we could have done this or could have done that. We just keep fighting and keep getting better.

I think we'll be more prepared this year. Last year, we didn't get back to the hotel until well after midnight and had a hard time getting to sleep with the emotions of beating Kansas.

It gets very tiring to answer questions about (Kansas). It'll be nice to play Arkansas and worry about them. Kansas is a long time ago.

finding good happen job role shoot terms time
(My teammates) do a good job of finding me and getting me open. In terms of when they come, I just shoot them when I'm open. If they happen to come at a time when we need it, then it's just a bonus. If I'm open, I'm going to shoot it, that's my role on the team.

amongst charles example guys honest struggled talk younger
To be honest with you, amongst ourselves, we don't talk about the GPA. That's the coach's thing, and you don't pry into someone else's business. But I know some of the younger guys who've struggled a little bit, and Charles is the example we use for them.
best chance fun minutes slow watch
They're fun to watch the way they get up and down and attack. We can do it here and there, but to do it for 40 minutes will not give us our best chance to win. We have to slow it down to our pace.
academics business care chance classroom straight succeed talk telling time
They don't even talk about basketball. It's telling you straight out: Obviously, you have to make time for basketball. But academics come first. You have to take care of business in the classroom to even have a chance to play. If you don't succeed in the classroom, you aren't getting on the court.
