per Amelia:
On his confidence in his three-point shooting, despite hitting just three of 26 (11.5 percent):
"Thanks to Coach P, he keeps that confidence within me. I just try to keep playing hard, try to take easy, open shots. They’re going to go in one day so I’m not going to stop shooting, I’m just going to keep trying until they go in. [When he sees one go in] it’s kind of like a sigh of relief. But it’s giving me confidence, let’s hit another one or let’s get to the basket, let’s get to the free-throw line. That’s the way I try to get started and put some points on the board to help the team."
On Pitino's trust in him and belief in his potential:
"He has trust in me even though I’m a freshman and I make little freshman mistakes, he still has trust in me. That’s big, I think that boosts my confidence even more ...I’m a guard who can get downhill, get others involved, I can rebound, I play defense. I try to guard the best player, if not, one of the secondary best players and try to lock them up. I just try to do a little bit of everything that way I’m not one-dimensional."
