He just told us he needed us to encourage him. He said we needed to help him get out of his slump.

I think I hit a shot before that and I was feeling good, so I knew I was going to pull up when I got it. We were playing in Bank Arena, I guess, so I knew I had to bank one home.

I think I've seen a change in Pat the last few games. He's talking a lot more, and I think that comes with everybody communicating a lot better than we did before. It's good to see that confidence back in him.

I want to get some more light out there, but I'm definitely not mad at Joe. I'm happy he had a great game.

I would say he helped. We could all be honest about the things we wanted to get out.

I think we're still working out the kinks with that. This year, coach hasn't specifically pointed out those guys (who are the top scoring options) so I mean I think everybody is trying to step up and become those guys.

In the past we've been playing good defense, but we didn't buckle down and get the stops when we needed them.

Today I was just feeling it.

Any team is going to be dangerous when they're playing in their home court and has their home crowd right behind us. We've just got to be focused.
