I learned a lot in that game. I kind of figured out what I have to do to be successful.

If guys can't be ready for this one, then something is wrong. This is obviously a huge game. We know what Hawaii is capable of. They took care of us pretty good at their place. We'll be ready, and guys will respond well.

We talked about my playing background, and he and I just kind of clicked. Before each game from then on, we've always visited with each other.

With 10 minutes to go, we felt like we had the game. But we learned what that kind of speed is. You cannot simulate how quick they are.

We want to focus on one game at time but at the same time we know we have to win out in order to get the highest seeding we can ? a chance to get second or a chance to get third. We don't want to fall down into the fourth or fifth spot; that would be bad for us.

Hallelujah. You don't want to be remembered for anything we were facing. It's only one game, but it's been a long time since we have gotten a win.
