We're just ready to play again. It doesn't matter where it is or who it's against.

It gave me a boost of adrenaline hearing all the Kentucky fans cheering and stuff. I just had to try and shut them up.
team
That was on me. I let the team down.
easy unless
I thought they were going to come to me the whole time, unless we got an easy shot, of course.

I think we'll respond well. We don't like losing. Nobody likes losing.
You can get us down, but we're never going to quit.

I kept shooting. Finally one went in for me. I didn't see the goal. I just fired it up there.

It was a good look, but he was all up on me. It still felt good.

We didn't make that run like we were earlier in the season. I don't know what it was. It just wasn't there toward the end of the season. We can learn from this and be ready for next year.
