I've seen him do this in practice before, definitely. I've seen him line up and hit 10, 15 shots in a row from out there. He might miss 15 in a row, he might hit 15 in a row. He's that kind of a shooter.

You could see how good (Novak) is. He's the best shooter I've ever seen, and (Felix) was with him every second. Think about that. He scored (31) points and changed how Marquette played by himself. That's big.

Our slogan this season is that we're not going to let anything beat us - nothing. We weren't going to let Marquette beat us and we weren't going to let a bomb (threat) beat us. For the most part we kept our game faces on while we waited in our rooms.

The speed in a real game is a lot faster than it is in practice. We've got one of the best defenses we can go against in practice, but the speed is still a little faster come game time. I've got that experience now and I can take that to next week and use that.

I got to the point where I was just aggravated. I wasn't able to practice. I was here to play football and I didn't have the energy to do it. The best thing for me was to go home and get better.

I was pretty confident. I try to hit those a lot in practice.
