It seemed like I'd hit one, but they'd turn around and hit one, too. It really didn't matter. |
It should slow the turnovers down and bring the assists up. |
It's going to be us against a lot of orange. They came into our house and took care of us, and we've got to go down there and take care of business. ... This is a chance to show everybody that we can play with the top teams. |
It's something I felt like I needed to do. I apologized for the losses and the way I had been playing. This is my senior year, and I don't want to go out on a bad note. I just want us to play for each other when we're on the court. |
Joe was in there mixing it up. That's what we needed. |
Maybe it was a little deep, but I knocked it down. |
My whole team was behind me and saying, keep shooting. Coach Smith was saying just jump up there with confidence. We know you can hit it, so anytime your teammates and coach say that, then it's going to inspire you to knock down shots so that's what you need to do for your team. |
Shagari was huge. He changed the complexion of the game. He changed our energy level. |
Take out our center, it shakes things up. |
That was something between me and the team. To have your teammates cheering me on like that, it means a lot. |
The first 3 I hit in the second half felt pretty good. And once I hit a couple in a row, I was feeling really good. |
There's no pressure on us at all. |
They did a good job of taking away the three. We had the shot, and that's all you can ask for. |
They knocked the free throws down and ended the game. |
They were closing out on me quick and giving me driving lanes. I was able to hit some mid-range shots and make some extra passes in there. Then I started hitting some threes there near the end trying to get us back. It just wasn't enough. |
