league locker sports stepping talking
We were just talking about that in the locker room, about how league play is different, and we're stepping up.
half head sat second talked
I wasn't into the game. My mind-set wasn't right. I sat down and talked to myself at halftime. The second half I relaxed. My head was in the game.
anybody happen lost seeing
I underestimated them a little bit, seeing how they lost to Nebraska. But that won't happen again. We won't underestimate anybody any more.
came
It was an embarrassment. They came out and manhandled us.
I don't know how long I'll be here.
falling
I didn't think it would be this easy, but things were just falling our way.
coach gets mental
Coach said it's a mental thing, but it really does (affect you). Even Roby (Richard, CU guard, 15 points, 6-of-18 shooting) told me that he gets winded.
close shoot stop
I have that down pat. I can shoot it over a big guy. The only way to stop it is to keep me from getting that close in.

I'm surprised I didn't get a technical. I got real mad. I thought it was a foul.

I'm trying to get on ESPN. That's what that is.

I'm not worried about that. I'm a good kid.

I'm just glad it's over with. I was concerned because I was getting behind in classes.

I just started being more aggressive in the second half. The point guards were finding me and I was getting open shots. My shots started dropping and I was getting kind of hot.
body language mad playing
(Saturday), even my body language wasn't good. I got mad at myself out there. I'm not playing relaxed. I just need to be more aggressive.
