I think we're blocking out. We're just not jumping to get the ball as quickly as we can.
That's a big part of our game, is blocking shots. That's the way we play, and if somebody gets it in there, we're going to try to get it out.
We're so anxious for the game to get here.
We're going to get together and talk about things, but I really like being here and I enjoy playing under coach (Billy) Donovan. As far as I'm concerned, I would definitely like to be back here next year.
With those guys, if we don't block them out, they are going to dunk on our heads. Our goal was to keep them off the glass.
We know what we have. If we can all come back and put it together, we can be a tough team.
We know what we can do. We don't wait for one player to do something.
We're here to win it. This is just the first step to get there.
We're playing our best basketball all year and we're a really tough team. You can't stop us.
I think they thought Walter was going for the dish, but Walter was finishing. He just made that read, and Walter was good for us.

That's the style we play and he's going to have to adjust to that. They're going to have to adjust. The bottom line is we are going to run all night. If he is not in good enough shape, I feel bad for him.
Who runs the apartment? They'd probably say I do. I'll say Jo does too, but it's my show.
I think we should come back and repeat. That's how I feel about that.
