You get used to playing two games a week during the season, then you have a while off and practice can get kind of repetitive. We held them to 31 points and that's pretty good, but we have to do better offensively.

How we practice affects our playing time, and I felt like I had a really good week of practice.

I believe we're ready. We've picked it up in practice a lot. Our intensity in practice has shot up and we're playing for each other, and we're making sure we're not going to back down.

I'm playing really well this week,

We had data of a year ago, spring practice, the preseason practice and the first two games ... now we have to make a decision. I've never pretended that every decision I make is right ... I've been reminded of that.

Some teams don't practice hard and do great in games. We're the opposite.
