If they try and play us big, one of the main things we're going to have to do is defend and get out there and rebound. That's one of the focal points this year is rebounding more than anything. |
In practice, I was shooting the ball pretty well and I was really confident with my shot. I didn't have a problem with the eye. I wasn't thinking about it. I came into today's game like it (the injury) didn't even happen. |
It definitely wasn't a goal for us. We didn't sit back and say we wanted to win the Big 5 championship. It's just something that comes. |
It didn't surprise me. I thought I shot pretty well in practice. I have a lot of confidence in my shot and I wasn't even thinking about my eye. |
It got to a point where coach didn't want me and Randy to guard each other any more. He had to move us on to different guys. It's just so intense, the guards going at each other in practice. It's just brutal. |
It was a great game. A good bounce-back game for us after losing to Canada yesterday. It showed how much pride we have in USA Basketball. After losing yesterday's game, coming out and being able to play hard today against Puerto Rico, that says a lot. |
It was fun for us. For Louisville to be hitting 3's like that, it wasn't that fun. |
It was fun for us. For Louisville to be hitting 3s like that, it wasn't that fun. For us to be hitting it, it felt pretty good. Coming down on the other end and giving it up was kind of a bad feeling right there. |

It was important to us to at least finish with the best record at 7-1, |
It was just a little pushing and shoving and words were exchanged. |
It was real hard, but it was a great learning experience. It taught us how to deal with adversity. |
It was tough coming down those steps for the last time. |
It's a much needed rest. We're definitely going to take advantage of it. We got a couple of guys banged up. That should definitely help us out going into the tournament with that much rest. |
It's always big when you beat a No. 1 team, especially at home. |
