I decided since it was my birthday I was going to shoot it anyway.

I had a good game, but I was trying to lead my team to a victory. Even though we came up short, I had one of my best games on both ends of the floor.

I heard that roar. What? They got beat by Miami, right? Oh man. I told you anybody can get beat by anybody.

I looked at it as a statement. They were ranked pretty high and they beat Maryland. I look at it like an NCAA tournament win.

It's not a game plan, it's our style of defense.

I told him it didn't matter. I had Michael Drum on me.

They really jumped on us hard at the beginning. We didn't get the stops when we needed them. They had a couple of transition baskets that kind of killed the whole momentum (after our comeback).

Anytime a guy scores 41 points, it gets your attention. We wanted to put different guys on him, and we tried to get him from getting deep post catches, and tried to play on his right hand.

It was very frustrating. I feel like I could have made a difference, but I had to sit out.

We were driving to the basket, had some good low post action and we ran our offense very well.
