It gave me a sense of purpose. What I'm basically here for on this earth is to impact little kids and other people through the game of basketball with my personality. It just made me realize how important projecting a positive image to people who are down and out can be and to give them a sense of hope.

My mental approach to the game in the second half was on a veteran level. I just got more physical with my approach.

affect altered best competitor decision environment feeling final four game great grew guy last leave losing mouth people playing road shared taste team terrible winning
The road to the Final Four was a great experience, and I grew up tremendously experiencing that environment and the people I met. As a team we shared the feeling of being there, and playing that last game was a terrible taste in your mouth that you would never forget. Losing like that in that way is going to affect you, and me being the guy that I am - a competitor - you always want to leave out on top. That altered my decision a lot. Because not only do I want to be the best player, but I also want to win. Being there and not winning was a disappointment, and that made me want to come to back.
basically game loss win
The loss is basically my fault. I didn't play the way I have to play for us to win a game like that. The loss is on me.
alex days defense excellent hustled played three
It was an even contest. They hustled us and got most of our 50/50 balls. We just played a little lackadaisical from three days off. We did have excellent defense from Alex Seifert and Carl Tesch.

Raven has been a good kid since he got here. I could tell he was a little home sick the first week or two he was here, but I think he is over all that. We have been on him about taking care of business in the classroom. He has done everything we have asked.

Every time I'm on the free-throw line now, I think about Kentucky, and that situation.
