We're used to playing away games. Out of the 20,000 people that showed up, at least 17,000 were probably Villanova fans. It gave me a little motivation.

I don't know why he doesn't do that all the time. He's probably one of the best ball-handlers on the team. He makes good decisions. He can create his own shot. When he does things like that, he helps me catch my breath. He kind of gave me a rest while I was on the court.

We didn't know if we were in or not, but we felt that if we won this one we'd solidify (a spot).
