I got a hand up on the shot. He knocked the shot down. It was a good play.

We were playing not to lose. Whenever we play not to lose, it means that guys aren't being aggressive. It means we're slowing things down.

We usually shoot the ball better than we shot tonight. We normally make those (shots). When you play a team who makes shots and you don't, you can't really be mad at that.

The most important thing to me wasn't to keep up (academically) just to play. If you're going to do something you've got to be your best.

It feels good to play, but it feels better to give the team a spark.

We've just got to play through it. Looking back, watching film, watching where we break down and what's actually going wrong on every play — that's how you get better.
