It doesn't really matter. (Wednesday) I had the hot hand. They had hands in my face but it didn't faze me.
My teammates were very supportive of me tonight. They wanted me to have the ball in my hands. It was a very physical game and we knew Upper was a very good team.
We stuck through. With Jon making all his shots we knew we were going to have to withstand it, and my teammates and I were able to fight through at the end. This was just a great game, there isn't much else to say but that.
It's a great honor. I'd rather have 14 points and us get the W instead.
Everybody who went to that game got their money's worth. I know that for a fact. Everyone is saying that's the best game they've ever seen. It went down in history, I guess.
We really got after it. They were ready. We heard they wanted revenge.
It's a rivalry game and both teams will get up for it. We were ready all week and had a good week in practice. We couldn't wait to play, and it showed tonight that we were ready.
Before we came out on the floor for the second half, we huddled up and I told the team it wasn't going to end like this. We responded to the challenge.
It was a real quiet locker room at halftime. I knew in the second half shots would start falling. We had been down a couple times like that in the regular season, but we are a tough team mentally and physically.
It was a runner and I had to come back to the ball off the double team. It looked pretty good when I let go, but I think if I would have put a little more on it, it might have banked in, but it was a good look. You can't do anything about that.
