That wasn't one of my best games. I walked a lot of batters which I never do. I got behind in the count a lot and had to throw a lot of pitches.

It was nerve-wracking, especially at the end.

It was a curve inside. I got too much of it over the plate.

It's really tough, but I try to keep my head high. Some of (my teammates) take it hard and say what if this or what if that. But our hearts were in it 100 percent of the way.

I've pitched four games in four days and I'm a little tired. We've had a lot of games in the past few days and we've had people picking it up and picking it up and not letting our guard down.

These games are very important, because they won't play like the bottom teams. [Rutgers and Villanova] always tend to have their best games against us.
