I came off the bench and I was ready to go. I came out and gave it my all. I knocked down my shots and helped out my teammates the best I could.

We got together; it was gut-check time. We decided to pull it out for coach and get an extra win for the team.

What if we didn't win that one? What would happen to the cake? It would have gotten rotten.

Playing well with others is important - not being too flashy, just keeping good time and of course coming up with cool beats. A good snare drum, kick drum, high hat. Just getting good at the hand feet coordination.

I don't think we panicked [in the second half], we just weren't getting good shots. We're not used to being in that situation, and we didn't know what to do.

It's hard to place blame on anybody when you're racing in a pack that is that close with the speeds those guys are running out there. For the most part they all do a pretty good job. All it takes is one little slip-up by somebody or by two or three people, you're going to have a heck of a crash. It's just unfortunate.
