I was just trying to go out there and provide that spark. That's what I worked on all summer. It's a deal where I'm feeling more confident. I've always been known as a defensive player, but I think I'm showing I can give the team confidence with my shooting. |
I was looking to see if we could get a spark at either position and to see if we could get something going. We were struggling all day and whether it was the back or a quarterback, or whatever, I was just trying to get something going before it was too late. |
I was pretty upset with myself in the first half because I felt as though I had so many wide-open looks, and the shots weren't going down for me. In the fourth quarter, shots came my way, and I had my mind made up they were going to go in in the second half. |
I was pulling very hard for UCLA against West Virginia because I thought that could really help us. There were some early-season losses by some teams in the conference ... those kinds of things are not forgotten very quickly by the NCAA basketball committee. |
I was really disappointed in our focus. A team who is coming in 29-10 should be able to get our attention. When you dig yourself a hole like that, it's hard to come all the way back against a really good team. But we need to quit feeling sorry for ourselves. |
I was really impressed with our first period. The first team played real well today. We moved the ball well and shot well. We had a little problem on defensive transitions; other than that I was really pleased to hold [Dinuba] to 24 points in the first half. |
I was thinking double play since I came from the bullpen, ... Facing a guy like Derrek Lee, I was looking for the ground ball, but I wasn't looking for that ground ball up the middle. To me, when that ball went by me, I thought it was a single up the middle. |
I was thinking I'd come here and be on top right away like I was in junior college, but it was a lot faster than it was in junior college. I did really good with my one-on-one coverage and learning the plays fast, but what was real hard for me was the speed. |
I was thrilled that the school system would choose to honor her in this way. She was the embodiment of Dr. King's legacy. She was all about her children and family — and if they can continue to follow her example, they'll be very successful in their lives. |
I was very involved, ... I had to put on a motion-sensor suit and do all my moves — like the crazy walk after I score, all the celebratory stuff. In the game, my [skill] ratings are very high. I got all the moves — I can even step out to shoot the three. |
I was watching television and actually eating fish and chips for dinner when there was a noise up the chimney. Suddenly this thing appeared out of nowhere and bounced off some potato peelings I'd thrown on to the fire, out of the flames and on to the hearth. |
I wasn't concerned that they wouldn't come out ready. The only concern I had, and it's kind of like the feeling I have now, I loved the victory, but it's not the feeling I had Monday night against Valley Christian. That was an emotional game, that was a war. |
I went through some therapy, working on what was going on inside me, and I got back on track. I certainly have different priorities now. The great thing about having kids -- you can finally get your attention off yourself. There's something more to live for. |
I wish I could have played because I think they could have used me, but I've been saying that all year long. I'm not trying to make any statement or anything like that. I wasn't feeling too well. I always want to play, but that's up to him [Hill] and not me. |
I witnessed a surgery on a patient from New Orleans who was in a car accident. He didn't have any flow of oxygen. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't get a good flow of oxygen, so they did a surgery on him right there, and I was just holding the IV up watching. |
