I'm just playing hard and doing what I'm supposed to do. I just want to stay focused, and do what I know I can do.
We have a lot to lose. We're here to compete for a championship. We're not looking at the seeds. We're looking at the opportunity to move on to the next round.
I think it was huge for me to have a big game like this, especially shooting wise. Early in the season my percentages haven't been as high as I'm capable of so to have a game like this is huge for my confidence.
They don't remember how you start or what happened in-between. They just remember how you finish, how you did in the tournament.
I thought we played them tough but they did some things down the stretch that separated us.
I thought we played excellent today. That shows you how good they are.
We're disappointed. We got the win, and that's the most important thing, but we've got to figure out what's wrong and find the solution for it.
This would have been huge. I don't think it damaged our chances for the NCAA Tournament, but it's an opportunity missed.
I just think we came out focused and aggressive. We've been getting off to slow starts, and we came out ready to play this time.
That was the emphasis for this game: get the ball inside. We know their post men are not the biggest. Randolph could have been a huge factor. We probably did put up too many outside shots.
