job isn't far from finished, but all
0:02
year long, uh, we've been hit with with
0:06
a lot of backlash about we're not this
0:08
and we're not that and we can't do this.
0:10
So, I think it just shows how we've been
0:12
able just to come together uh and
0:14
regroup after tough losses, whatnot like
0:16
that and and not only defend the home,
0:18
defend our home, but take care of
0:20
business in general.
0:21
>> Can you put in perspective what it means
0:23
now that your final game here has been
0:25
played that you stayed for four years
0:28
and that you had that forever? Yeah. Uh
0:30
it means everything that I stayed. I
0:32
mean I didn't run. Uh you know most guys
0:35
in my position without a doubt they
0:38
would have been transferred. They would
0:39
have ran, you know, they wouldn't have
0:41
faced the problem at hand. So how I was
0:44
able just to
0:47
adversity uh over these last four years
0:49
and persevere and embrace at the same
0:51
time and embrace my love for the
0:52
university uh speaks so much on on the
0:56
impact this school has had on me. I
0:58
think uh
0:58
>> what's it like to share the stage too
1:00
with RJ Davis, a player that I'm sure
1:01
means a lot to us.
1:02
>> It means a lot. RJ is one of my best
1:04
friends to come through here. I look up
1:06
to R.J.
1:08
>> I mean, I've been watching RJ since I
1:10
was a junior in high school. So, just to
1:14
just to have him here on a night where
1:16
I'm celebrating celebrating as well,
1:19
it's incredible.
1:23
And there's also the record of going 18
1:25
and0 at at Dean. There's a lot of
1:28
motivation, you know, just getting the
1:29
win is big out there. Um, so yeah, just
1:32
a lot of different motivations getting
1:34
going out there making plays and getting
1:35
the dub.
1:36
>> You're hustling hard. One one moment you
1:38
actually you like jumped out of bounds,
1:40
I think, and over like a photographer
1:43
videographer there and say saved the
1:44
ball.
1:45
>> Um, take me through just I mean what
1:46
what's going through your head there.
1:48
>> Oh yeah, hopefully he's okay. kind of
1:49
like landed on it, but um yeah, just
1:53
doing whatever I can to help the team
1:54
win. I saw the ball going out of bounds.
1:56
I think we touched it last time. Just,
1:57
you know, jumping out there trying to
1:58
save the ball and just do whatever it
2:00
takes to win.
2:01
>> Take me through that flurry when you
2:02
scored like eight points there in a
2:05
little stretch and six and then the big
2:07
rebound in the last minute.
2:09
>> Yeah. Um, I think a lot of those came
2:11
from free throws, but al also offensive
2:14
rebounds, too. But, um, just going in
2:16
there making plays, um, drawing fouls. I
2:18
feel like that was huge for us, too. Um,
2:21
going down being a post presence, too.
2:23
And, um, you just drawing different
2:26
defenders was big for us.
2:27
>> What were you seeing from tonight?
2:32
>> Yeah, he was knocking it down. He was,
2:34
you know, coming off screens. We were
2:35
saying good screens for him. Dicks did a
2:37
good job. Luca just coming off ready to
2:39
shoot. Um he did a good job doing that.
2:42
Um I'm glad he had, you know, the
2:44
confidence to go in there and just, you
2:46
know, let it go cuz again, we have
2:48
confidence in him and his shooting
2:49
ability. We've seen it.
2:50
>> Um so I'm proud of Luca and did a good
2:54
job.
2:54
>> Did those ignite you guys as a group in
2:56
the second half?
2:57
>> Yeah. Yeah. It helped push our lead and
3:00
it helped motivate us both offensively
3:02
and defensively. Um bench was getting
3:04
into it and um I feel like Yeah.
3:06
motivated us for sure. when he hit that
3:08
sixth three-pointer, I think it was the
3:09
fifth of the second half. Clemson calls
3:10
the timeout and he kind of pumps his Is
3:13
that the most emotion you've seen from
3:14
him in a game all year?
3:15
>> I think so.
3:16
>> Was he saying anything like what was
3:19
what's he yelling when he's hyped up
3:20
like that?
3:21
>> I think he said something. I forgot what
3:22
he said, but yeah, I saw he run to the
3:26
basket, hyping up the crowd and yeah,
3:28
it's probably the most emotion I've seen
3:29
from him. So, I'm glad for him, proud of
3:31
him, and he had a good game. How
3:34
satisfying is it for you to sort of grit
3:36
out when you guys
3:37
>> like just walking by here, seeing kind
3:39
of the championship banners, seeing the
3:42
jerseys that are in the rafters, like
3:43
you feel like you're in company of those
3:45
people and you play also for them, not
3:46
just for us cuz every single person,
3:48
every single person that's played here
3:50
is looking at every single game, always
3:52
like texting coaches, texting us,
3:53
telling us like how they're watching,
3:55
what they care, how much they care about
3:56
the team. So, I mean, this place just
3:58
it's a huge family and I think this is a
4:00
house that it is. What um was going
4:03
through your mind? I think I saw when
4:04
Luke was taking those free throws at the
4:06
end of the game, you were just you just
4:07
had your hands like this.
4:09
>> Yeah, I was just praying head there. I
4:11
did not want overtime after fouling out.
4:13
So, I was really hoping we can get it
4:15
done.
4:16
>> And what was going through your I mean,
4:17
obviously ended up working out, but when
4:18
you fouled out there, just what's going
4:20
through your head?
4:21
>> I mean, first thing I felt like I've
4:22
been vertical, so I was like I was like
4:24
ah cuz I felt like I had made a good
4:26
play and then obviously the call came
4:28
and I knew I was out. So, it made me way
4:30
more nervous cuz it's not going to be on
4:31
the court and I knew if overtime comes,
4:33
I won't be able to play and help the
4:34
team out. So, yeah, it definitely made
4:36
me very nervous.
4:37
>> Not to say there's not an edge already,
4:39
obviously wanting to go out on good
4:42
footing with the final home game and
4:43
everything, keep that uh victory streak
4:47
going at home. Was there an extra edge
4:49
though with Seth and it being him and
4:51
Elijah's senior night?
4:52
>> No, for sure. We everybody knew that we
4:55
kind of needed like even coach said like
4:57
I feel like whenever we started prepping
4:59
for Clemson he was like hey this is for
5:01
these two guys like me sending everybody
5:03
out from this program by being a winner.
5:05
So we got to win the last game for them
5:06
at home. So I think it means a lot to
5:08
everybody just being able to fight for
5:10
them get a little extra motivation to
5:12
just fight extra for those two guys.
5:14
>> Henry I know a lot of the
5:15
>> two minutes happen like kind of waiting
5:17
for that run of shots. Yeah, I feel like
5:20
I I I like to this kind of shots
5:23
especially when it's let's say many
5:25
times. So for me it was like just
5:27
important to keep shooting. Of course
5:29
Davis recognized that he gave me
5:30
opportunity to be on the court and call
5:32
the place for me. So it was amazing.
5:34
>> Luca, a lot of guys when they go on hot
5:37
streaks they say it's like a physical
5:38
feeling like you can feel like something
5:40
in the air. Was that what you were
5:41
feeling in the second half when you were
5:42
going on that run? Yeah, I feel just I
5:46
had a good reads couple times for Henry
5:48
also to raise him the ball and some
5:51
other other thing I I I should well. So
5:54
for me I just play with my instincts
5:56
>> for Derek a freshman to step up in that
5:58
moment. Hit that big three in the final
6:00
minute. What does that say about him?
6:01
>> We saw also I guess he's lucky he's
6:04
capable of doing this. So I wasn't
6:06
surprised there.
6:07
>> Have you hit more threes than that in a
6:09
game before?
6:10
>> Yeah. How many how many is your career
6:12
high?
6:13
>> I don't know. I never tried this.
6:14
>> Definitely more than that though.
6:15
>> Maybe maybe when I was younger. I can't
6:17
remember exactly.
6:18
>> Was it there was a long stretch where
6:20
you guys were getting open threes but
6:21
none of them would fall and how how
6:24
frustrating was that? And then and then
6:26
you're able to end that streak.
6:29
>> Yeah. you know,
6:31
like I don't know how, but coach Davis
6:33
just felt that I should be on the court
6:34
for this time like maybe offensively
6:37
just open other guys and just give some
6:38
rhythm, give some flow because we
6:40
struggle for a couple times. We we had
6:42
good open shots but just just we missed
6:44
them. So it was important for us just to
6:47
find a rhythm and I think we we
6:49
>> look I know you only know Seth for a
6:51
year but what's it been like to get to
6:52
know him, play alongside him and things
6:54
like that?
6:54
>> Unbelievable. He's unbelievable guy. His
6:57
family unbelievable. really welcome as a
7:00
part of their family. So I hear only
7:05
great things about him.
7:07
>> You showed about as much emotions and I
7:10
much emotion as I've seen from you. What
7:12
brought that out?
7:13
>> I don't know. You know, for me it was
7:15
important really every like when I watch
7:16
the book score for me was important just
7:19
to to win this game for our seniors just
7:22
to let them with a go with a win, you
7:25
know, on a home court. It was important
7:26
for for me like and I just I just wanted
7:29
to win like and it was we did it. So I'm
7:33
really proud. You
7:33
>> talk about the importance of winning.
7:35
How important it was it to go undefeated
7:36
at home this year.
7:37
>> Yes. This is also important just for our
7:40
confidence to see that we we have
7:43
ability to to really be a great team. So
7:47
just give us the confidence for
7:48
tournament for this last game of the
7:50
regular season.
7:51
>> How much do you feel like some of those
7:52
some of your threes in the second half
7:54
sort of sparked you guys and allowed you
7:55
guys to come out with the win? Yeah,
7:57
what I said before, it just give some
7:58
rhythms and confidence to other guys and
8:00
just keep keep your offensively and just
8:04
live to be really um efficient and just
8:08
to try to give give them more space. How
8:10
refreshing do you feel like it is for
8:12
you guys to be able to win a game the
8:13
last game 89 82 this one much lower
8:15
scoring but either way you're able to
8:16
grit out a win coming off of a win like
8:18
you guys had
8:19
>> I feel that we have every night other
8:21
guy who step up so it just shows how we
8:25
can be good and in every moment we can
8:27
expect every guy every guy to be quality
8:30
>> what have the practices leading up to
8:32
this look like for you especially Steph
8:37
>> yeah you know we just have to adjust
8:39
this is basketball but this is five
8:40
action. So for me it was important just
8:42
to you know keep the rhythm, keep the
8:45
all guys accountable. So we did. So I'm
8:48
very proud.
