We knew they were going to sag on me, so coach (Brain) Brooks told our guards to hit some shots.

You knew they were going to hit some deep shots, and we just had to keep grinding and grinding. I thought Donald Brown on the boards in the second half really mixed it up. I thought we played with great energy in the second half.

Coach (Scott Schumacher) told me I could shoot anytime. I just had to get into a rhythm. We knew we had to play harder. We wanted to let the whole league know we're for real.

I knew that (Beal) was going to get hot and start to hit their shots. They are way too good of a shooting team to have not had a run. I was just glad our kids were able to respond.

Billy is our best player. But if he's not getting it going, someone else has to hit the shots. Coach told me to be more patient in the second quarter.

Captain Lewis told me he knew I wanted to make the putt, but I should just hit the lag putt for our country.
