I love Puerto Rico. I'm from everywhere. I represent for everybody.
It's tough when people call your program soft. Tough.
People remember champions. That's the way it is.
As a basketball player this is your dream -- to play in the national championship game. It's just such a great feeling that it's finally here. There's been so much hard work and so much sacrifice. There's so many moments that I can go back to -- being a little kid, walking to practice. Now I'm finally playing in the game.
I love you. Let's do it in football now.
I mean, it's understandable that it's the first time he can't go out there. He can't do anything about it. But he's definitely a big influence in my life.
I would go on summer vacations visiting family all over the world.
I have a lot of love for Cameroon. We'll probably talk after the game.
They were talking lots of trash. They were just talking crazy to me, like, 'You're so ugly.' Man, that was cold. I mean, it hurts when you have so many beautiful girls out there just telling you how ugly you are and stuff.
We're going shine all day, all night. Please don't be mad at us if we don't do a little homework the next couple of weeks.
You guys weren't there. We only had like four or five reporters at our games sometimes at the end of the game (during the regular season). I didn't see you there at the beginning of the season.
Throughout my journey in basketball, I always have someone to talk to in my father. I know how hard he had to work as an athlete.
We're coming back next year to do it again.
We're back to step one no respect. We're just going to grind it out like we did at the beginning of the season.
