We are looking to get into the No. 1 spot because that would mean we won the game. Neither one of us wants to lose that position. It will be a fight out there, and whoever survives will win the game.

I think we're kind of on a mission now. We don't want to lose another game from here on out, so we're going after every game like it's our last game. It should show when we play.

We've lost the last two years in that game to get to the Final Four. To finally get over that, I think we'll be more relaxed once we start playing again.

We're looking to fight for that third spot. We have one game in hand with L.A., we're two points behind and if we win that game in hand then we're ahead of them.

I think I was frustrated early on because we weren't playing very well. I guess we woke up. We got things together, got things rolling.

We felt great at halftime. We scored the first basket of the second half (but) we didn't really get the stops that we needed to maintain the lead that we had. They just slowly crept up on us and took the lead.
