Mom told me last night that every time you get the ball, when you let go of it, you've got to know it's in and you're making the next one. I didn't know when my night was going to come, but I knew I just had to come in with confidence.

They've got a lot of talent and, being the eighth seed, they don't get as much respect as they deserve.

We wanted to get a steal after A.J. made his two free throws, but if we couldn't come up with a steal, we were going to have to foul them. There was a scramble for the ball and I came up with it and was able to get the ball to A.J.

It's very special. It means so much to this program, the coaches and all of us. We'll feel a lot better after we win three more, though.
