I thought it was going to be a contest to see which one of us would score 50. He's at the level where I want to be. You want to bring your 'A' game against him, because you know he's going to bring it against you.

It was definitely a frustrating feeling for us. We thought that was a team that could run the table.

I thought this would be a tough year for us. We had a lot of new kids and it took longer than I thought for them to pick up our style. But we came together at the right time. Last year, I was more nervous because it was our first time. This year, I was more nervous that we would make the right plays.

I thought if we knocked down our free throws it would have been a better ball game. We had our chances down the stretch, we just missed our opportunities.

I hadn't even thought about this basketball stuff. But basketball is the only sport I ever really liked.

If I thought they were really concerned about everyone's health, they would have banned it across the board.
