It's a great achievement. It's a great compliment to my team. I couldn't have done it without them. The support the coaches and my teammates gave me is probably the biggest reason this happened.
boys few great guys job knew offensive open sending split teammates three
They've got some big boys that are very good. They were sending two or three guys at me, which was getting frustrating, so I knew I had to get offensive rebounds. The few times I was open for a split second, my teammates did a great job of getting me the ball.

anxious bad coaches early eight fact goes man played playing teams
The coaches just told me to be patient. I get real anxious when I see teams are playing me man-to-man. Early on, I had a lot of bad turnovers. I think that goes to the fact that we hadn't played in eight days.
double great guards guys hitting job knew lead post utilize
The guys did a great job of getting me the ball. The guards were doing a great job of hitting shots, and they couldn't double down. We knew with Padgett out we could utilize our post game. We did that. We got out to a big lead because of it.
