I'm so proud of my teammates. Isaiah Thomas is a great player and nobody is going to stop him, but that wasn't our goal. We wanted the win, and we got it.

It's good we lost that game. I think it has brought us together as a team.

I knew I had to give my team a little boost.

It felt really good to beat a top-ranked team in convincing fashion. It showed we're not overrated.

I was real nervous at the end. My freshman buddy (Siva) came through, though. We have a lot of confidence in him.
