The difference at that point was really Sam McMahon. We weren't getting anything offensively, and he attacked off the dribble and made those free throws to close the gap. After that our defense took over.

Offensively, we have to move the football on them. We haven't in the last few years. And that will be tough. They are big and physical.

We're not really a great 3-point shooting team, but we do better when we get dribble penetration and then kick it back out.

Dee had 11 assists. That's what a point guard's supposed to do. But we're not great offensively. We need something more from him, some shots to spread the defense out.

I am someone different to everyone ...and to someone I am everyone

It was at a point where I realized that like I had told Sam before we started 'I'll throw up in the sand for you. I'm gonna do anything I can for you,' but I never thought I would chip off my tooth for him. That's permanent,
