They were pressing all game and the crowd was getting into it. I thought we played very well under that kind of scrutiny and pressure.
It was very similar to last year's game -- they jumped out early last year, we jumped out early this year, and the other team clawed back into it.
The team is playing well in front of me. They are blocking shots, and we got a couple of lucky bounces. This game was a lot of fun to be a part of.
It's tough playing in this environment as a freshman, but he held his team in the game late. His play helped me elevate my game and made me want to compete harder and answer him at the other end.
