Locker Room Chat: Admon Gilder on staying fresh, scoring and more

On staying fresh while playing so many minutes...

"I've got to give Darby (Rich) credit. Throughout the summer, we've been planning. I knew I was going to play a lot of minutes. He did a great job of telling me that I needed to go hard every day. No matter what drill we were doing, I needed to come in first or second place. He's doing a great job of having me in the best condition possible."

On staying focused for all 40 minutes...

"I love playing 40 minutes, honestly. It's a good thing for me that I like. I just have to make sure that I keep my body right on and off the court."

On scoring more points in recent games...

"I'm just playing with confidence. The coaches have done a great job, sitting with me and saying that I need to be one of the leaders – whether it's scoring, being more vocal or on the defensive end. It's just having them and knowing they have the confidence in me to go out there and play my game and having me be able to do the things I can do on and off the court."

On the upcoming matchup with Florida...

"it means everybody has to get on the same board, starting with practice tomorrow and being able to be locked in – knowing what they do best and trying to get the schemes of their offense and defense. If we go in there with the right mindset, we'll come out with a win."
