It definitely motivates us more because we want both of our programs to be successful. They come out here and work hard every day, and we're just trying to implement the same thing that they're trying to do.

We felt we were going to win the game. We took the lead and that gave us some emotion, but I don't think we executed our sets well. That's something we did earlier in the game but in overtime we didn't do that.

(Waters) told me he was going to move me to the wing because we needed more points on the board. Quincy can't score all the points by himself.

When you come home you have to take care of business. You can't just continue to let teams come in and steal games from you.

I think it's going to be an improvement for our team, putting me out there on the wing, getting more shots. That's what I've been working on all summer, not just to take shots but to make shots, and knowing that this team is (relying) on me to produce.

The more open shots they get, the better it is for us. If I can get to the basket and try to get those [defenders] closer in on me, it's better for us.
