We put that game out of our mind as soon as it happened. They came out; they played great at their place. We just couldn't withstand the pressure at that point in time. But we think we've gotten a lot better, a lot more poise, and more mature.
They came out with a lot of energy and excitement in the second half and they really pounded the offensive glass. We had to refocus and try to get our defensive rebounding back. Our main goal was to get stops, rebound and move the ball on offense.
I saw Walker pop free, so I jumped to him. I knew he was going to shoot because there was only four seconds left. I just tried to jump as high as I could without fouling him.
I'm fortunate to have this second chance, and I expect to make the most of it. I'm looking forward to helping lead our team down this conference stretch.
I knew that they would probably go to him (Walker) because he is their best shooter. I leaped as high as I could and I tipped the ball, but I guess you got to give Nicholson credit for what he did.
