Interview: UVA basketball player Anthony Gill

anthony gillUVA basketball player Anthony Gill talks with reporters after the second-ranked Cavs defeated Florida State, 51-41, on Sunday.

 

On the game: “They are a physical team and that was a physical game. Last year it may have been more physical but today seemed worse with London [Perrantes] and Malcolm [Brogdon] getting hurt, but they just ran into each other so besides that it wasn’t as bad.”

On the team’s free throw struggles: “Me personally: I’m going through something for sure. However, I’m not too worried about it, I know that my shots are going to fall. I trust my shot, I’ve been working on it all year, and it is going to go in so I’m not too concerned about it.”

On Malcolm Brogdon’s return: “I knew he would be back. His head is big and very muscular. London found out tonight how big Malcolm’s head is.”

On the team’s offensive struggles: “We just need to rely more on our defense in those situations when our shots aren’t falling. It doesn’t matter if we are not making our shots, all that matters is our defense. If we keep playing defense, we are going to stay in the game regardless of what is happening on the offensive end.”

On losing London: “Obviously, he is a big part of our offense. I also think that we have a lot of great players that can come in. We got to see Marial Shayok and Devon Hall a lot tonight, so it is a good sign that we have those kinds of players that are able to step up like they did tonight.”
