After a while, I think we got a hand in his face and cooled him down a little. But he's a great player. It's tough to stop a shooter when he gets hot like that.

Eddie Cranford came up big, real big, with that three.

Games like that just happen. Everybody on this team works so hard for everybody else and it just comes naturally. I don't have to force it. And these guys (his teammates) won't let me force it.

Free throws were huge. Our coaches work us hard at the line.

Oh, yeah, bad stuff can start happening in your head. People come up and congratulate me all the time. All I do is smile and say thank you. You can't think about that stuff and get too cocky.

My main focus now is my grades. Lately, all my time is spent either on the court or sitting at home studying. If I'm not here on the court practicing, I'm at home doing homework.

It's so important. That's the biggest part of being a student-athlete. I have to make sure I work just as hard off the court as I do on the court.

You can't come out all selfish. Not on this team, not with these guys. I wouldn't do that anyway. That's not me.
