We're aware Florida hasn't made it out of the first weekend in a few years, but we're also aware this is a new year. This year is not determined by what happened last year. We've got a different-looking team than we've had in the past. We've got a chance to make a run this year.
I am anxious to see how this team plays in the conference. That is when you really find out how good you are.
I felt good the whole night shooting the ball. (Head coach Billy Donovan) always does a great job of telling me of instilling confidence in me, showing that the team has confidence in me as well.
I think it kind of lifted our team up and we fed off his energy.
I think you just have to get used to it. You try to get as many shots in warm-ups and shoot-around the day before. When the game starts, you don't really think about the background. You focus on the basket, what you need to do to help your team win.
I think we are a lot better team now than we were at the beginning of the year. I think we still have room to improve, but I think these last six games are going to be big for us. It's going to be interesting to see how we do.
Our biggest strength as a team is that we have a lot of guys who can score.
I think our biggest strength as a team, offensively, is we have a lot of guys who can score. Our team is very unselfish, and we generally have a high number of assists and pass the ball. I think for us to be successful, we need to do that again.
We definitely remember those two losses. So any time you get a chance to get a win against a team that beat you twice, especially in a championship game, that would be nice.
We lost a lot going into the season, so this has been a little bit surprising. Our team has done a good job of just being a team.
They get a lot of steals. But if a team handles the pressure well, it can definitely lead to good shots.
Everybody on this team works hard, but nobody's going to outwork Corey.
I didn't know that. Maybe we'll do as well as that team did.
