The crowd was a lot louder than it had been; they were more into every possession. You could really tell this was something different.

I love the ball being in my hand. In high school ... I ran the point so it was kind of like going back to my old days.

I've never been in a situation where you look up and it's 35-5 or 36-5. It wasn't really a nightmare, it was just like I couldn't believe I was in a position like that.

I just want to play like this.

It doesn't make any difference to us who announces the games.

I don't know what place we're in.

A lot of people are counting us out and I find that kind of disrespectful.

I don't really like watching (the NCAA Tournament) and not playing in it. It hurts to watch, but it's going to prepare you for the future.

He is a just a great, great kid. He stays focused all the time.
