We've been through so much, and I think that's why we're so tight and close together as a team. We're like a family because of all we've been through.
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.
If they try and play us big, one of the main things we're going to have to do is defend and get out there and rebound. That's one of the focal points this year is rebounding more than anything.
I felt it pop. That's why I was concerned.
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.
I'm really just moving on. I've got this season to worry about now.
I came into the game feeling regular, like it didn't even happen.
I couldn?t find my shot in the trials, ... I couldn?t make anything. Playing defense in the one thing that Coach Wright has instilled in me. You?re going to have off day offensively, but you can never have an off day defensively.
I feel like coach puts the ball in my hands for a reason.
If I was seeing a little bit of daylight, I was letting it go.
I haven?t been on New York?s public transit system since I got my car four years ago. I drive everywhere.
In practice, I was shooting the ball pretty well and I was really confident with my shot. I didn't have a problem with the eye. I wasn't thinking about it. I came into today's game like it (the injury) didn't even happen.
