I faced odds when glaucoma took the bat out of my hands. But I didn't give in or feel sorry for myself. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: 'It may be cloudy in my right eye, but the sun is shining very brightly in my left eye.'
I got a lot of good looks. A lot of them were in and out. It just wasn't falling for me today.
He was just real angry, telling me I've got to take more shots when I'm open because I might not get them later in the game.
We've been through so much, and I think that's why we're so tight and close together as a team. We're like a family because of all we've been through.
I felt it pop. That's why I was concerned.
If they try and play us big, one of the main things we're going to have to do is defend and get out there and rebound. That's one of the focal points this year is rebounding more than anything.
He just said not to worry because it could be something little.
He jumped up there before me and I couldn't get there right away. My hand got caught up in his arm and the ref called the foul.
We just feed off each other. Sometimes Randy gets it going and everyone on the team knows that and we'll try to find him. Sometimes Mike (Nardi) gets it going and we find him. Sometimes I get it going and everyone finds me.
We knew about Monmouth, we knew they were a very good team. We definitely didn't underestimate them.
We feel we played well, especially defensively. We felt we played a great game.
We feel we played a great game. Not many teams can shoot 31 percent and win the game.
We hit a lot of shots early and once you hit shots early, you get a lot of confidence as a team.
Being a No. 1 seed is cool. And knowing you?re in the tournament sure beats not knowing.
