After the half, Coach told us to pick up the intensity and get inside more. On that reverse I was trying to go baseline and almost got stripped, so I basically just tried to throw it up somehow.

It's not about me, it's not about any one guy on this team. We know we can rely on each other. If one guy is having a bad day, someone else will step up.

We just got off to a slow start. But we're a good team and we know we can come back.

It was somewhere in North Carolina, and the waitress there was the first one to tell us about what had happened that morning, with the bombings. But it wasn't until later, when we stopped at a Target store, before we saw the TV footage. Needless to say, it was a really weird time -- we actually had to drive around a lot of places, and our parents wanted us to turn around, but we kept at it, and it ended up working out. But if we had left a day later, who knows what might have happened.

We've been looking forward to this for a while, so it helped. It helped us take our minds off that last loss.

We just tried to make other guys beat us. We tried to take away a lot of his penetration and his splits on the pick and roll. I think we picked it up a lot.
