When I do win a national title, it would definitely mean a lot more if (Kwan) is there.

It's when you don't win that you learn things about yourself. Everything I have gone through has made me who I am today.

We had one goal here and that was to win a national title. When that goal was taken away, it was tough to come out the next day and play a basketball game. (The loss) is disappointing, but this was a tough environment to play in. But Central Arizona executed very well.

I'm trying to do something similar to what Carmelo did, ... Trying to win a national title.

Definitely you have to be able to handle pressure and shake off any mistake and I kind of didn't do that tonight. I let that first mistake creep in. I have to be tougher.

I was surprised when I learned I would be for sure getting a bronze and even more surprised when I going to be getting a silver. It was kind of like, oh that's nice. But over the last four years, I changed as a person. My focus is not on the medal. For me it's the experience and the process and enjoying it.
