You'd have to go a long way's back.

I don't know ... it was something natural. It wasn't anything I thought about. But I'm not going to be playing point guard anytime soon.

I don't know if my game is that much different, but I think the things I'm doing have gotten a lot better. I've gotten more confident and I think that's made me a better player overall.

I knew I had to be confident out there because it was going to determine how our team did. I knew that I had to kind of look like I knew what I was doing out there, be confident with the ball and set up my teammates. I was comfortable out there.... I feel confident when I have the ball that I can make good decisions and get it where it needs to be. Growing up, I always worked on it. I always had a ball in my hands in games. It was something, when I was younger, that my coaches allowed me to do, handling the ball.

Nothing was falling, and I feel like I let my teammates down. It was a physical game, and they let a lot of things go and Temple did a good job in transition.

You don't want to be upset when you're in this position. You don't want to be someone else's party when you're in this position.

North Carolina really did a great job on J.J., doing more than really anybody else had running two or three guys at him every time he had the ball. We knew teams were going to see that and everybody was going to try to do that, so we concentrated on trying to play off of that better.

You have to have a thick skin. Obviously, he wants us to be the best player we can be. ... He's not going to sugarcoat things for you. He's going to tell you the truth. It's not always easy to hear the truth.

We got a quick lift, but then we kind of let up. We had our run, and then they had theirs. We didn't respond to their run as well as they had responded to ours.

We got a taste of that type of atmosphere, that type of feeling when we played Texas in Madison Square Garden.
