Nothing you can do about it. That's what you signed up for. |
Of all our road trips, this is by far the best one. We're just having fun as a team and so we're playing confident. |
Our confidence is a little shocked right now. We just played a really bad game, and we had to travel to come here. But that gives us a chance to prove what we're made of. It's 'Big Monday' so it's a big deal to us. |
Playing for Coach Wallace wasn't the easiest thing at first. I used to take his yelling personally and it would get me down. Now, I realize he's only trying to make me a better player. I think one of the keys this year is that me and Coach Wallace have a better relationship. |
Right now, I'm just trying to help this team win games. |
That's the way I like to play the game. I'm not going to try and score 40 every game. I'll do what it takes to help the team win. |
The follow-through felt good. I just squared up and was able to knock the shot down. |
The zone has been our savior all year, we're long, big, and athletic, which makes it hard for anyone to get rebounds or score. |
There's been a lot of bumps in the road to get here. I think that's why I had to come home to play. |
There's the altitude and the travel and they have a lot of good fans who show up for the game. I don't know what else it is. It's kind of like us, how we're really good in our home gym. You just feel more confident when you're at home. |
They kind of got to us a little bit, too. They're like a sixth man out there. |
They slowed our game down and we weren't able to transition like we wanted to. And we weren't hitting shots we needed to hit. |
This game is for the fans, so you try to go out there and do some stuff you probably wouldn't do in games. |
This is huge for us. I've never experienced anything like it. It's what we all dream of in high school, playing in this kind of atmosphere. |
We couldn't execute. They got a stop on us and we couldn't get back in a rhythm again and we weren't able to stop them. They were able to move the ball on us and get good shots and get to the free-throw line and that's what we were lacking. |
