I think that a special purpose to our team it doesn't matter who it is whether it's RJ R or one person brings everyone that energy you know Right Whenever he dope on the floor at one time I think it was two times we do on the floor two times I feel like we wanted to run our defense picked up our offense picked up you know everything was there the chemi the chemistry was there the arena energy our fans everything was there and you feel like you got some kind of you know it seems like you guys you know what that kind of style break away So I mean definitely I mean there there are a team that turn people over really really well they are long and athletic you know they deny everything They play a really weird style or then they switch everything one through five and you know it takes you out of your seat kind of makes you overthink sometimes for the second half You know we were up 20 coach said you go out there and have fun and play your game and trust your work I think that our coaches did a good job of putting us in places where we knew it was gonna be one on one finishes or or easy kick outs and you know we were spaced out in the corner corner wing wing and you know drive one on one If we didn't play they can stay in front of us one on one and then if you have another guy on you someone's in the open and just make the right I mean I've been waiting for it I've been waiting for it You know I got the most bounce I've seen and I've been waiting for him to do one of those all the time all the time He's just trying to be modest and humble as a 10 a 10 out of 10 I'm not humble set this bouncy guy If I was anybody I wouldn't jump with him if you guys get sort of a true team man Where everybody right When was that for you guys to get a true team with everybody I mean I think that's perfect especially in the tournament whenever you have three games in three days Um forget not have anybody play 40 minutes not play wear and tear in the body You know everyone got everyone got some points I got rebounds assists everyone played well and you know just going into a game tomorrow we play the winner of Pitt and Wake Forest which are two really good teams We gotta be ready and you know everyone having and confidence is the best thing for us I asked about how hungry is this to finish the job I mean it's not even about the title for us It's about winning every single game and you know showing everybody what we're capable of We feel like people doubt us every day even when we won the regular season title even if we were in the tournament we feel like people are doubting us you know every day we don't know who are kind of talking about this We don't know who what fans are This is the first time they're coming to see us the only time they will come to see us You know we're trying to show them what we can do and give them the best play all season all from the beginning to the end A really impressive outing just rebounds I think you guys tripled what they had in every single guy who had a rebound out there What makes you guys feel hungry to you know to go I think it's just you know chemistry for us and and energy Um once our energy gets going everybody everybody gets going we knew it would be a big rebounding game They crash uh all five of their guys because they're all like 66 and above and you know rebounding is really not about I kind of mentioned that earlier It's not about how athletic you are It's about positioning and being physical and just wanting it more And I feel like today we wanted more than them
