Don't kid yourself, all we think about is winning the Derby. If you ask 1,000 people on the street about horse racing, they're going to say Kentucky Derby and Bill Shoemaker.

This is awesome ... I don't believe it. I can't ever remember making a winning shot before tonight. This is fantastic. I'd never made a shot like this, one so important, in my whole life.

I'm honored to get that, but I think there are more important things like winning a championship. It's a very good honor, but the goal is to go out and win the tournament. I don't think we've reached our potential yet.

I just attacked the glass. I have to keep doing that if we want to keep winning. It's about rebounds and defense. That's what wins championships.

The fractions were a little soft and I thought Stevie was a little closer than I wanted him to be but it worked out. Alex had a lot of horse. He knows the horse and he rode him perfect.

He's got good speed, but it might be a good race for him to sit off the pace a tiny bit.
