We thought when we came here that we were going to be in the tournament every year. But I'm kind of glad how things worked out because we went through so much and worked so hard to get where we're at now ... It wasn't an easy road for us. Nothing was handed to us. We had to deal with many different issues and that makes it even sweeter.
He was just real angry, telling me I've got to take more shots when I'm open because I might not get them later in the game.
He just said not to worry because it could be something little.
He jumped up there before me and I couldn't get there right away. My hand got caught up in his arm and the ref called the foul.
When I was on that floor and couldn't see anything, that was one of the first things I was thinking about, I'd probably be blind. I thought I was. I couldn't see anything. Everything was burning. Pretty much, my life just flashed in front of me.
We realized it as soon as the game was over. We ran into the locker room yelling, 'Big East champs!' That was such a good feeling.
We?ll get a little rest in the next couple of weeks,
We were just like, 'Man, listen, the No. 1 team is out and it could easily happen to us. We don't want to be the ones going home. We worked too hard for it.
We definitely both like to run down the court. It's not like BC, where they like to slow the game down. It's definitely going to be up and down. That's the style of play that we like to play.
Congress wants to keep "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Washington politicians are united in their faith. Most worship the same reelection.
Mexico is divided over the results of its presidential election. The U.S.had offered to send in a task force to help determine the outcome, but unfortunately the Supreme Court is currently not in session.
I had some great role models along the way. My on-field heroes were the great Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, and Willie Mays. I wanted to be like them on the field, and I am so damn proud to join them in the Hall of Fame.
Coach wants me to shoot, and he tells me never to lose my aggressiveness. That's most important.
We had a chance to see a lot of different styles of play and you had to adapt to the different style each team plays. That?s going to help us come tournament time because the game in the Pac-10 is different from the Big East and we know how to adapt to the different styles. I?m glad I had that opportunity.
