I felt like once (Johnson) did that, it took the life out of them. You could see it in their faces that they weren't the same team that came out with that energy in the beginning of the game.

Guys were in the right spot. They helped me out a great deal.

I'm happy coach Calhoun is beginning to trust me. I just want to keep it that way. I don't want to take a step back. My confidence is through the roof. Confidence is what you have to have at this level.

Guys were in the right spot, my job is to hit them and find them in the right spot. It's easy to play with guys when they put the ball in the basket.

Guys were in the right spots all night. It was easy for me to find them. And they were making shots. I feel I've become quicker and stronger -- mentally and physically -- to deal with the college basketball game.

Really, it?s interchangeable who plays the point, but having us both out there will feed our offense. My role now will to be a little more aggressive.

I can't wait for that first day of practice when everybody steps on that court and we all start on that goal of getting to the Final Four.

It makes the game so much easier for me. Playing with these guys has really stepped up my game to another level.

We're not roommates, but we room next to each other and we know we've got to do this together.
