I would never take it back. I'm glad I made that decision. It helped me grow as a person and playing in that basketball league helped me get much stronger and more confident in my game.
We've played in tough games ourselves and tough atmospheres. You've got to give credit to those (Vermont) guys and you've got to respect them, but at the same time, we're all basketball players and we've all been in hostile environments.
In the first two games, we went against all the principles that coaches taught us in practice. This time, we just did a better job of clamping down and making sure they didn't get a lot of open shots.
You have to show a little respect (for the opposition). But I guess we started a little early. It was a fun time.
There are times I'll come back to the bench and my bag is all ripped open with one piece of candy left, so the other guys get their fair share.
I want to play them again. I feel that they basically hit our pressure points in the two games we played.
The type of person I am, I want to play them again. I feel they basically hit our pressure points in two games, and did what they had to do, and we didn't do what we had to do.
This is what we've worked for. Getting back to the RACC is what we've played for all season.
We still had to show our respect to Vermont because they came out and played hard and they're a respectful team. They're a team that's built their history, too, so you've got to respect those guys.
It was just my time to do it and help the team. The Lord was looking down on me tonight. I have never played so many games here in a short time.
