If I don't wear it, I don't feel like myself. That's the way I am. Some people might underestimate my jumping ability. I feel like I'm a pretty decent athlete. I try to do the little things that I can do to help the team win.

He's an underrated point guard, and I think he's one of the best in the country. He's always looking to create things, but he can score, too. He just seems to know where the other guys are going to be.

He told me to quit making my shots. I looked at him and said, 'Man, what about you?' He is possibly the best freshman in the league.

I hit a couple in a row and I felt really good, once you hit a couple of shots everything else in your game feels better, ... As long as we play as hard as we can and as a team, we should win some games.

In the first game, Cincinnati was playing tougher than us, stronger than us and more physical than us until we got it turned around the second half.

I missed two free throws then shook it off and made four.

I like playing on the road a lot. It's just us 12, you know? It's like us against the world.

Anytime you're in a game like this, you're going to be a little nervous. Against a tremendous team like Texas, you worry about them.

This is just a dream come true. It's an unbelievable feeling.

They came out with more intensity. This is kind of like their Super Bowl. It's just another game for us.
