I got a lot of good looks. A lot of them were in and out. It just wasn't falling for me today.
I was pretty comfortable out there. My vision was good the past few days, so I just came in and I felt pretty good.
We knew about Monmouth, we knew they were a very good team. We definitely didn't underestimate them.
Sometimes, you have to take the good with the bad. As long as the good outweighs the bad, then you're all right.
The real good teams and the real great teams find a way to win.
We realized it as soon as the game was over. We ran into the locker room yelling, 'Big East champs!' That was such a good feeling.
(Syracuse) gave us a lot of open looks. When you give good players open looks, it's hard not to miss.
It was a great game. A good bounce-back game for us after losing to Canada yesterday. It showed how much pride we have in USA Basketball. After losing yesterday's game, coming out and being able to play hard today against Puerto Rico, that says a lot.
I think we fed off our defense a little more in the second half, and we got into a flow offensively as a result.
It got to a point where coach didn't want me and Randy to guard each other any more. He had to move us on to different guys. It's just so intense, the guards going at each other in practice. It's just brutal.
Jeff Pierce, our trainer, gave this to me and it really keeps things tight. It takes away a lot of the pain.
It definitely wasn't a goal for us. We didn't sit back and say we wanted to win the Big 5 championship. It's just something that comes.
It didn't surprise me. I thought I shot pretty well in practice. I have a lot of confidence in my shot and I wasn't even thinking about my eye.
I think Kyle does a great job of finding the guys who know how to score.
