Cedric Simmons Quotations

My calves were cramping up, both of them. So I couldn't really elevate on my shot like I usually do.

It was very frustrating. I feel like I could have made a difference, but I had to sit out.

I decided since it was my birthday I was going to shoot it anyway.

I thought it was going in actually. I've seen a lot of teams get beat this year on the same situation, same shot. My heart kind of stopped.

They really jumped on us hard at the beginning. We didn't get the stops when we needed them. They had a couple of transition baskets that kind of killed the whole momentum (after our comeback).

We've got to learn how to finish. It was kind of the same thing that happened at the Carolina game. But I got some confidence and I learned that I can play with the best.

I got some confidence that I can play with the best. I can hang with the best in the country, but I still have some things to learn. I still have to get stronger. But I can go into practice with something to work on.

I told him it didn't matter. I had Michael Drum on me.

We just have to execute in the last five minutes like we have done all game. It's not from a lack of effort on anyone's part, but we just seem to get in a hurry on both ends of the court.

He showed a lot of heart just to come out and play. After the game, I kind of said I hope everything goes well. I don't think he heard me. I don't know.
