beat came embarrass gave good played whatever
We want to try and embarrass them and beat them by 30. They gave us a pretty good butt kicking. I give them credit, they played well, but we came out with no energy, came out flat, and let them do whatever they wanted to do.
figured finish game games intensity last minutes
We lacked that intensity the last 2 minutes because we figured the game was over. We've got to finish games better than that.
We've got aspirations of getting to the tournament, so this is going to be a big game.
egg goose lay
To go up there the way we did and lay a goose egg like we did up there, it was horrible. We wanted to do it back.

Those little incidents don't measure up to the things he's done here at Temple.

We could have gone two ways after that we could have gone in the tank and continued to play sub par. But we took it upon ourselves to talk to each other and try to come out and play better.

See that guy, that's the guy who's key for us. When he plays well, we play well.

Saint Joseph's defense switched, and we had a hard time running our patterns.

That's what we went out there to do today. We went out there to prove that we could play defense.

A team like Duke, they're a powerhouse. They don't do special things. It was easy for me to get to the basket.
basketball call knows late night talk tough transition watching
It's going to be tough for him because all he knows is basketball. He'd be up late at night watching film and call us to talk to us about basketball. I think it's going to be a tough transition for him.
It's pretty exciting. I've got a lot of things going on right now.
