I was really happy for him. I just kept feeding him the ball.
I knew it was going in. It didn't feel like it was going to rattle out, hit the backboard or anything.
I knew I wasn't (starting). I'm not upset. The players out there deserved to start.
I knew I wanted to take the last shot. I never doubted that it would go in. When I started to penetrate, there were nine seconds left, so I knew I had to make a decision quickly. I didn't want to shoot too early and give them a chance to score on the other end.
I like it a lot. I plan on taking a lot of shots in that spot.
I kind of (get up a little bit more for Louisville). Just because I'm from there. I know a lot of those guys.
I really like moving without the ball. I think it helps me spread my defenders and move them across the court.
He stepped up. Our other guys were in foul trouble a little bit.
I don't really look at it as too much of a big deal. I'm just glad we got the win. Any way you can get it.
I didn't score a lot, but I found another way to help us win. There will be times like this when teams stop my offense. When that happens, I just have to do something else. I'm just glad we won. I'm not mad or anything that I didn't score more. I'm just glad we won.
I love it. I think it's a mistake for teams to press us.
I always get up for every game, but this game is especially big. It's a do-or-die thing. This could be (decide) whoever wins the regular-season championship.
They got a lot of easy baskets and rebounds. That is what killed us.
We're looking forward to the tournament. We still believe that if we play with effort, we can beat anyone. We just can't have those 2-3-minute lapses.
