I expected us to go to California. You have to expect the worst.
Carolina doesn't have a chance. They're a good team, but the Bears are a great defensive team and they're in Chicago.
If they tell me to go back to school then that's what I'll do. That's OK. I'm OK with that.
I have fun all the time, ... You should hang with me. I feel like you only live once. Time flies, I'm 21 years old and just a while ago I was 17. I have to live my life every day. You never know what's promised for tomorrow.
I didn't make shots. I was thinking too much. I'm going to continue to fire and do my job as far as being a point guard. We came out with a win so I'm happy.
Me and James (Augustine) have been through this before as sophomores. You just have to play with a different mentality.
My freshman year we win the thing and get a four seed. So it didn't matter then. It matters now, I guess.
Lydia and Emily will be very important this year. They both have national meet experience and we will lean on them.
I hang with E.B. (Halsey), Mel (Melvin Bryant) and J.D. (Jason Davis). I beat them in video games, and they beat me in video games. Those are my guys. They know I played football and that I have a special love for football. Illinois is a football school as well as a basketball school, so I have to show them respect.
I feel that we want to accomplish a lot. I think we got the toughest bracket with a lot of good teams on our side. Last year expectations were high, but I think they're just as high this year.
When you get opportunities, you have to step up and take them. We need production from our bench.
Until I quit writing and I don't know when that will be, I will always be reading something that has to do with what I'm working on.
You can't depend on the crowd. You have to go out and play. Coach told us they would make everyone leave, and we knew once it started it was going to pack up.
There are a lot of positives we can take away from this one. We really played well.
