Freshman guard Rob Dillingham admits that when he comes off the bench with freshman Reed Sheppard the duo want to “create a spark” immediately.
“We talk to each other and try our best to make the team better and help us get a lead. We have an edge about ourselves and a chip on our shoulder when we come in,” Dillingham said.
The fan favorite says he actually blocks out crowd noise/reactions.
“When I be making moves I don’t hear nothing. I just make the move. We feed off it (crowd noise) and it gives us positive energy and that creates wins,” Dillingham said. “We play our best basketball when we move the ball. We get stuck sometimes and that’s not our game. We move the ball and play better because everybody has confidence.”
Dillingham said he appreciates the way Sheppard, Antonio Reeves and D.J. Wagner can all score.
“In high school it is more where you got to make the play every time,” Dillingham said. “It’s a relief when you don’t have to make the play every time yourself.”
