I'm just hoping to make myself better and work on some things. This will give me a chance to do that.

It should be a lot of fun. I've never been out of the country before. It's just a great honor to be able to play for the United States.

Sorry I didn't give a better showing. I didn't do anything well tonight. I didn't shoot well, I didn't shoot my free throws well. I didn't play great defense. It was just one of those nights. We just have to put this one behind us and focus on our next game.

Some nights the shots just don't fall. When that happens you just have to play good defense and kind of grind out the win.

He's very well. He did a very nice piece of work. The better the ground, the better chance he will have. He doesn't seem to travel and jump so well on heavy or testing ground.

It's good to see Alex get his chance because he's been close a few times, but has never quite made it. Alex is a good player, and people here are starting to see what he can do.
