Aaron Gray Game Quotations

I felt confident. Ever since the Marquette game, every day I've been working on my free throws before and after practice with the coaches. Apparently, I just need to continue working on it. It's probably the biggest weakness in my game right now. I let my team down.

He does a great job of getting people to play their best. One of the reasons we are such a good team is that every day in practice is like a game to us. Everything we do is competitive, and everything we do we want to win, no matter what the drill is. He knows you have to coach everyone differently.

We easily could have lost that game to Notre Dame. The way the young guys played, it just shows they're not going to give up. We don't want to lose. If we do, it'll add fuel to the fire.

We didn't do anything special to prepare for the game or do anything differently. We put in hard work and prepared for this game just like any other.

We wanted to put the emphasis on our post game with Padgett out. We did that. We obviously got out to a big lead because of that.

We're going to try to have as good a game as last time. We take pride in our defense here. It's going to be a battle, but I'm looking forward to it.

This is a typical Big East game. Even this game came right down to the last shot. The guys did a good job fighting back. It's going to be like this day-in and day-out. There's no gimme wins in this conference.

They got me tired, but I had to push through it. There are points in the game where my teammates feed off me. I have to make sure I get back on defense, and just get in position where I can make plays.

They had four or five guys they were sending in throughout the game and I wasn't really thinking much about scoring against them. My main emphasis was rebounding.

It's going to be interesting to see where we end up. That last game is very important.

I never really got into the flow of the game today. I struggled offensively and defensively.
