There were a lot of fouls called, so the game was slowed down. We weren't able to play our up-tempo style.

It's a bit sore and swollen but it's OK. I'll be fine to play on Saturday.

I came out focused. I wanted to play hard. I think scoring my threes let me score more in the paint. Plus, the size advantage helped.

Even though we came out with a win, we're still down on ourselves. It's disappointing to come out and play like this.

He's a great player. He's tough to play against, he's 6-9 and I'm 6-2 so I just tried to go hard to the basket and get fouled.

Coach talked to us at halftime about when you think about it, one play in a big game, one mental mistake, can cost us. So many of us are so hungry for playing time, we know that coach can easily replace us if we make that mental mistake. I just took it as another learning experience in college basketball. And in the second half, I calmed down. I'm learning to take what they give me.
