The way I see it, you have to play all the best teams anyway. I like our match-ups with anybody.

When Hooper got up we all breathed a sigh of relief.

All that practicing catches up and a lot of shots just fall.

We knew we had a bad first quarter. I think we were a little too excited to get going.

I knew that I better make the second one because a lot is riding on it and I knew if I missed it my brother (Lance) was going to yell at me when I got home. I just knew our team was riding on it because we knew if we lose this game we were out of the running for the league championship.

I did want to play, so I'm disappointed. But it's smart in the long run.
