Gerry is a great, tough player and does a lot for the team. Whoever is guarding him is going to have a tough assignment.

Back when we were 3-6 in conference and had just lost to Texas, we had a team meeting and decided we would shock the world. No one outside of this family, this team believed in us. It made us what we are today, and we've been rolling ever since.

We are just playing together and we expect to put ourselves in situations to win at the end of the game. We have confidence that we can beat anybody down the stretch.

When they trapped the ball, my teammates were able to get the ball to me going to the basket, and I was able to finish plays.

It's frustrating. We know these are ballgames we should win. We have to try and be a little bit smarter. We have to be smarter in the game down the stretch.

At the beginning of the year, I never thought that I'd have to score as much. I thought we'd have enough scorers inside and on the perimeter. But things haven't gone according to plan.
