This is one of those games where we have to work on our mistakes that we're going through right now and get it together. We'll be all right.

We play in spurts. At times we play hard and then we get comfortable and they make big plays.

We came out and out-smarted them and were quicker and more physical. They are big, but not that physical. We got first blood, went real hard, and got all the rebounds.

I came in the game with the mindset of being more aggressive. I was joking around with one of the managers and saying I felt like was gonna have a career high [in points].

James brought it to my attention in one of the timeouts that we had that I needed two more rebounds to get (20). I just worked hard to get it.

We want to keep the legacy going. We don't want to come in and be the first team not to go.

I've been doing a bad job of working hard off the ball. I needed to get into the flow of the game.

Jihad did a good job pressuring the ball and making some shots. Basically he came up and played hard and picked up where everyone else was lacking.

I had three days off to rest and ice and rehab it. The pain's still there, but it's not as bad as it used to be.
