Keller's goal: Leave a positive legacy

"Since I got here last year, Coach (Bruce Weber) has always been telling us, 'Seventy percent of the team is going to come off the court. The other 30 percent is what you do on the court.' And we spend most of our day off the court," he said. "It's just a matter of getting committed. If we have a bunch of guys that really don't like each other and they're just out there playing for themselves, you can have a fiasco like they did a couple years ago (in 2007-08).

"But if you've got guys out there that really love each other and they play for each other, if you get a (defensive) stop, it kind of means a little more. You're doing it for everybody, not just yourself. I think that kind of bond is critical when you're trying to win a championship. And that's what we're trying to do."
