Student-Athlete Quotes
C.J. Fair, Senior, Forward
You played all but four minutes of your team's total minutes played. So how do you feel now?
"I'm still in the moment. So I'm good. Tomorrow at practice it's going to really hit me."
How do you feel you matched the intensity level that Baylor brought into tonight's game?
"I mean, we knew coming into this game they were going to be a physical team and they like to pedal the backboards. The main thing we just had to compete with them, and when we did get the ball, we had to push it for the fast break because they sent a lot of guys to the boards.
You hit a lot of big buckets down the stretch. So did you just want the ball basically in crunch time?
"I mean, yeah. I knew that the team was looking upon me to make plays, and once I seen a couple of my jumpers go in, that kind of gave me confidence and teammates confidence to keep getting me open and finding me, and it was a team effort from there. And coach kept running the play, and we were doing basically one play the last ten minutes, but we had different options off of it. And I think all the options kind of worked."

Coach said this tournament was good for you and Tyler (Ennis). In what ways do you think this tournament helped you two?
"Being young guards that we are playing against three really good teams and three different teams, every night was different for us. Every team was different, and all three were great challenges for us. And I thought we stepped it up every night and brought it. I thought that was great for us."
How do you feel you transitioned from each game providing points for Syracuse?
"I just kept moving on offense. When I'm moving, I feel like our offense is moving. If guys are going to take me away, take my shot away, it's going to get a lot easier for my teammates, and that's what I've got to keep doing."
