I was very startled. I heard about it when I was in class, actually. It was kind of hard to believe. There are a lot of things that have happened in the past and things that are going on right now that take a toll on a person's mind. It's hard. I personally have a lot of things going on with me that I don't share with a lot of people.

It's going to be hard. Mario is one of the guys we look to for leadership. It's definitely going to be hard for us sometimes from an emotional standpoint. He's one of us. He's one of our brothers.

I kept looking up and we'd be down by seven, and somebody would hit a shot and we would be down by four. It seemed like that kept happening again and again.

The main thing (we were thinking in the first half) was that we could beat them and that they weren't better than us. But in the second half they took us out of our offense and we didn't react well to it.

It says a lot about our heart and determination.
