Anytime a guy scores 41 points, it gets your attention. We wanted to put different guys on him, and we tried to get him from getting deep post catches, and tried to play on his right hand.

He showed a lot of heart just to come out and play. After the game, I kind of said I hope everything goes well. I don't think he heard me. I don't know.

I decided since it was my birthday I was going to shoot it anyway.

I got some confidence that I can play with the best. I can hang with the best in the country, but I still have some things to learn. I still have to get stronger. But I can go into practice with something to work on.

I had a good game, but I was trying to lead my team to a victory. Even though we came up short, I had one of my best games on both ends of the floor.

I heard that roar. What? They got beat by Miami, right? Oh man. I told you anybody can get beat by anybody.

I looked at it as a statement. They were ranked pretty high and they beat Maryland. I look at it like an NCAA tournament win.

I thought it was going in actually. I've seen a lot of teams get beat this year on the same situation, same shot. My heart kind of stopped.

It feels great to win. The first win is always big in the tournament, and this gives us confidence. But it's only one win. We didn't come here just for one win. We came here for the whole thing.

It was very frustrating. I feel like I could have made a difference, but I had to sit out.
|
It's not a game plan, it's our style of defense.
|
Just about everything went our way, and that was a good feeling out there. We made too many turnovers (21), but we made some good things happen, too.
|
Me, personally, I felt like we had to make a statement.
|
My calves were cramping up, both of them. So I couldn't really elevate on my shot like I usually do.
