Mt. Juliet is a great team and they have a great inside and outside game. If they are on, teams have a hard time stopping them. We did a good job as a team. We worked hard and did our best to lock up defensively. What can you say when things don't go your way? We worked hard and no one expected us to get here.

My shots were just falling. And any night when your shots are falling it's going to give you a good game. They were just right there and I felt it. My teammates were able to give me good passes to help me get those shots. Everybody contributed in this win. We're excited and ready to play Friday.

Teams keying on me just drives me to work even harder, and makes you an overall better player. It excites me to know that people recognize what I do on the court because there are so many great players in Tennessee. It's a great feeling to know that working hard has paid off.
