We knew Jon could be more assertive. He brings a lot of energy to the floor, and tonight there was an opportunity for him to provide leadership. He did that.

Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away and every ounce of energy you try to give away as the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play.

As a little kid, you can see it. Your eyes are so big, and you're full of all the energy and excitement. I don't feel a whole lot different about going into this game as I did back then.

We spend most of our time and energy in a kind of horizontal thinking. We move along the surface of things... but there are times when we stop. We sit sill. We lose ourselves in a pile of leaves or its memory. We listen and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.

Coach has been telling us to take the fight to them. We went out with great passion and great energy.

Our game plan was to go back to the triangle-and-two that we used when we beat them last time and obviously not having him on the floor threw a monkey wrench into that. We didn't get the job done on defense tonight.
