We started off real slow, and the guys did a great job of playing so hard and coming back. Our team was almost, like, determined at one point. We just didn't make the final plays to come down the stretch.
We're steps ahead of last year. We're playing more like a team. We have confidence in each other.
We got a lot of confidence from it and it's something we're going to use in the NCAA tournament. The Big East tournament is a lot like the NCAA tournament. You're playing games back-to-back. You're playing against great teams every night.
We got a little bit away from what we wanted to do. We were playing like we needed to win on that one possession and you can't do that.
That's when I play my best, against the best competition. Sometimes my problem is playing against guys who don't have much of a post presence. It will be a great challenge. I'm looking forward to it.
The coaches just told me to be patient. I get real anxious when I see teams are playing me man-to-man. Early on, I had a lot of bad turnovers. I think that goes to the fact that we hadn't played in eight days.
