I was just glad to be back on the court. I haven't played a full game in a while, so it was nice to finish one off.
atmosphere chanting crowd cut exciting fans football front hear loud played time
The fans chanting 'Texas fight!' were as loud as those at a football game. The atmosphere was incredible. Every time we scored a basket, I couldn't hear myself think because the crowd was so loud. We played so hard, and it made it so much more exciting to cut down the nets in front of all of our fans.
best came couple defense good great guys jumping played ready shoot shot
They're two great players. They came ready to play, and we did our best job. I think we played pretty good defense on those guys and it was tough, because Tyrus is always jumping when you try to shoot a shot and he had a couple great blocks.

P.J. used to get on guys pretty hard in practice for making a mistake, and he'd kind of leave them there to stew about it. Now, he gets on them but also helps teach them how to correct the mistake.

It felt good to help the team out. I have to do what I have to do, and if my shot's not falling, I have to be able to rebound and defend. I think I did a good job of that. I was glad I hit that free throw at the end.

It doesn't bother us if we shared it or not. We earned it and worked our tails off to get it.

I think we all quit trying to score and just tried to figure out a way to get the ball to Daniel, he was so hot. He was in another world.

I was kind of mad about how I was playing. That put a smile on my face.

My performance would have felt a lot better if we had gotten a 'W'. It's never great when you don't win.

That's the toughest environment I've ever been in for college basketball. To see that many people in that environment so quiet, it was priceless.
