It wasn't that they were that much better than we were or we were so much worse than they were. We just couldn't make any shots. We had opportunities to score and we created enough turnovers to be in the game. We just didn't make the shots.

It was fun and I enjoyed the ride. We played some great basketball from the area until today.

If we play with the same intensity we have been, it should be a good game Saturday night.

The difference last night was our defense, because we played better and we were able to deny them the ball. We had the lead for most of the game except for a minute in the third quarter when they took it, but we were able to keep it the rest of the way.

I have never seen any good resulting from educating the Negro.

The night before, I'll lay out the makeup I want to put on: a brow filler, a lipstick - there's a NYX red one that looks great with those Team USA uniforms - and my lashes.
