Hopefully, it's good luck for us. If it works, just stay with it. Whatever we did today, I guess we'll do again on Saturday.

I remember him. He was one of the higher-ranked guys. I played against him. He was good.

Increasingly, I realized that I could not merely tell his story. Rather, I would have to tell my story about him.

They did a good job of crashing the boards, and I think that was the difference in the game. They got a lot of second-chance shots.

They did a great job of playing defense, and I'm not doing a good job of coming out and attacking.

I've heard it's a lot of fun. It's my first time being there so I'm looking forward to the experience.

The ball is going to be in his hands all the time. The key to beating them is to control him.

It's going to be important because we need this win to try to get into the tournament, but, him being one of my former teammates, it's going to be a little bragging rights type of thing, too, between the two of us.

It's like a road game for us. It's going to make it a lot of fun for us, playing a good team with a lot of high-profile players. Nobody expects us to win. That's motivation for us.

They got some good looks, partly from us not playing defense well enough and partly from them just making tough shots.
