It wasn't intentional or anything like that. I was just playing basketball.

It's good, but No. 1 is really for April in Indianapolis. That's what we're looking for. It's nice to have, but we're not really into that right now.

We've just got to get better by using these games. Personally, me, yeah, I want to get those big games. I liked those games in Maui. I'm still going to play hard against Quinnipiac, but next week we start a bigger, real-deal season.

That was the first thing I said when I got back in the locker room, I can't wait until Monday. It's a big game, national TV.

I'm just earning my minutes, I knew I had the capabilities to play here, and it was just a matter of going out and doing it. Finally I'm doing it and I'm even more hungry to do even more, there are more things I can do.

We haven't been playing up to our capabilities lately. A win like this, a win at Syracuse ... I mean, we were up 24 in the Carrier Dome. That says something about who we are.
