I think Kyle does a great job of finding the guys who know how to score.
That's just what we do. That's how we play. That's our system. Until somebody decides to stop us guards, then we'll continue to do that. Once they do stop us or we have an off night, we have guys that we can go inside too. A lot of people don't think we have an inside game.
The brace was really good, it eliminated the pain. Even if I was on the bench I was still going to cheer the guys on. Just to play was very special.
We're never worried about off nights because we've got guys who can fill it up.
It's a much needed rest. We're definitely going to take advantage of it. We got a couple of guys banged up. That should definitely help us out going into the tournament with that much rest.
The last two years, Coach Wright's been real in depth with what he wants us to do. He definitely defined everyone's roles on the team. He basically just bases the offense on guys doing what they do best.
I think we fed off our defense a little more in the second half, and we got into a flow offensively as a result.
It got to a point where coach didn't want me and Randy to guard each other any more. He had to move us on to different guys. It's just so intense, the guards going at each other in practice. It's just brutal.
Jeff Pierce, our trainer, gave this to me and it really keeps things tight. It takes away a lot of the pain.
It definitely wasn't a goal for us. We didn't sit back and say we wanted to win the Big 5 championship. It's just something that comes.
It didn't surprise me. I thought I shot pretty well in practice. I have a lot of confidence in my shot and I wasn't even thinking about my eye.
My vision is back to 100 percent. I'm ready to go out and play.
Like I've said before, teams are coming after us. That's why we've been in so many of these close games. Every team that plays us comes with their best.
Like Randy said, this is going to hurt for a while.
