Very different emotions. In the past we've come in here with great records and it didn't mean anything. This is the last basketball game I'll ever play with my team. Winning the Gold Ball makes it just amazing.

At this tournament, it doesn't matter what your record is. Nothing matters. It's just that one game, and either you win or you lose. If you lose, you're done. We had to keep working hard. We knew we had it in us.

It's really hard to beat a good team three times and we knew we had to come out and play really tough.

But pain's like water. It finds a way to push through any seal. There's no way to stop it. Sometimes you have to let yourself sink inside of it before you can learn how to swim to the surface.

It's definitely better [to not have a week off]. This past week we had a week in between each game, and we want to play. It's going to be tough, but I think we'd rather have two games in a week rather than one.

I'm ready. I have been ready for the past week and a half. All last week and this week.
