We go forward. We keep our heads up and look at the things we did great and at the things we didn't do so well and try to improve on those.

We had three pros in the last two years and I had a role to play, ... It was frustrating to be in the position I was in because I've always been a scorer. I was just trying to do what's best for the team. A lot of people didn't see that; they just assumed I couldn't score. This year, I'm going to have the opportunity to be more of an option offensively. I'll be more aggressive on the offensive end and hopefully I'll be able to show what I can do.

We had to come back home on a good note. It was so important to get back in a rhythm again.

We have to play our brand of basketball, no matter what they are going to do. They will slow it down, but we have to take control of the game so they can play our way.

We just have to be tougher. It's tournament time and there's going to be a lot of no calls. It's about finishing plays.

We just need to play harder. We need to keep playing and play tough within the conference. We need to keep playing like we did in the conference, despite (Saturday's) loss.

We survived. It's just day to day now.

We tried to take away what we did wrong and what we did good.

We're starting off 0-0 right now. I've seen some of the best teams go out in the first round. So the season doesn't really count at this point. You can be 30-0 and lose in the first round and who cares? You're done.

When I was scoring a lot of points for the team, that's what I felt I had to do. But I think I'm only one of two guys on the team who can create for others. You have a lot of people who can score, but not a lot of people who can help them get it done.

You have to have an open mind and try to learn the game. You might think you're there talent wise, but you have to learn the mental things that will make the difference between 15 minutes and more time on the court.
