Before the Florida State game, did you step up and say you wanted to guard Von Wafer?
No, we don’t really have those conversations. Being a good defender like I am, most of the times I’m going to be on the other team’s best player. It was pretty much a given.
Does it feel good to finally put together a good road trip?
I don’t understand why everybody’s saying that we haven’t had any real road games. It does feel good to get these two wins in tough environments, though, especially since we didn’t know what we were getting into against Miami.
You’ve jumped out to early leads in two straight games. What’s been the key to these good starts?
It’s just about coming out playing good defense and executing well on the offensive end.
What do you think about your critics who say that your team has a depth problem?
It’s not a problem until we go on a losing streak. Right now, I don’t see what the problem is. We have guys from the bench stepping up and filling in for injured guys. We have Shav back, so that’s a good thing.
What’s the toughest part about playing on the road?
For us it’s making sure we play together out there. That’s been the key for us these last two games, we’ve been really together out there. We’ve played as one and we follow our game plan. We took the crowd of it early in both games.
