My doctor told me Thursday that I could play with as much pain as I could take. It didn't affect me in the beginning of the game, but in the second half the cut opened up and the Band-Aid came off. It started throbbing and burning.
He was going right and I knew he couldn't get a good shot. So I fouled him just before he could get his arms up.
I wasn't paying attention to how many points I scored in the third quarter, but I knew I had to turn it up for us to win the game.
We've matured over the year and they've been doing it all the time for us.
We knew we had to get this game going into the big one on Friday. In this conference we can't overlook anybody.
We gave it all we had. That's been our main focus this year. We came out tonight and did some different things. ... We just love to play basketball. For third place, fifth, sixth, first or second, any time we can play, we'll play.
We were prepared for their 1-3-1 trap. We watched a lot of film and knew all the nooks and crannies.
I've always been able to score; this year I'm more of a playmaker who can score.
All 15 guys on that bench can play defense. (Curran) gives us that desire that we can do this.
It's just part of basketball. The only thing I wanted to do afterward is make the free throws.
I took it upon myself to faceguard (Hill). He was making shots, but we weren't contesting him.
It was pretty annoying. They really got out beyond the 3-point line and pressured our shooters.
Anytime you get an opportunity to go out and play with such a great group of kids and a great coach, you want to go out there and do it. I'd never turn down a chance to play basketball.
I know he's got experience because he's been down here a lot as a coach. Everybody knows they shouldn't have lost that game, but he never really discusses that. He talks about this year's team and what we can do.
