However many points we have to score to win a game, then we have to do that. Our job is to score more points than the other team. Period.
You can't turn the ball over, not in this game. In the playoffs, one mistake can cost you a whole season, and we had four or five. Our job is to control what we can control, and we didn't do that.
I think it helped. I wouldn't say it was my decision. I would have loved to play during the preseason, but my job was to get prepared for the game in practice. That was coach's decision and that is what I went with. Overall, I feel good and I think it helped.
