(This) is the hardest road trip of the year. |
Arizona and North Carolina are if not the two best programs then at least in the top five in NCAA history. It's going to be a game of history with coach Olson and Roy Williams. |

I did some stuff that I can really use in a game, like the way I'm posting up. I can read how the defender is playing me. Whatever I'm doing in the post, I can get an open shot. Also, on my shooting, I can use more legs, and those are small things that can help you a lot. |
I didn't go out that much or hang out with my friends too much because of my family. I really wanted to spend some time with them because last year I spent my time with the national team, so this year it was a chance to spend some time with them. |
I don't know. Obviously, we were waiting for this moment. We played a great game, probably our best game since the Washington game. We played as a team and everyone stepped up. |

I found myself in a rhythm after the first couple of shots that I got. Everything after that was easy. My teammates found me inside and I was able to convert. |

I saw that he was looking at Kirk. The lane was wide open. |
I thought they fouled me, but the ball went in and out. That happens. |
