On your confidence level during the last two games
You know I try to stay confident all the time. You know, if I miss a shot, I try to forget about it. I'd say confidence is definitely the key, so I'm just trying to keep it up.
On you saying in Boston you were going to forget about everything else and just play ball, is that your mindset
Yeah! I just try to forget everything in the past. Whether it's a missed box out or it's a turnover, whatever it is, I just try to keep on playing and just try to be aggressive and just play my game.
On the three you hit playing the four, did that set up your drives to the basket
I think it did. I didn't really know where to go as the four. I knew the four or the five trailed and our big men were already down there, so I just trailed. He was backed off, so I took the shot. The next play down, I probably could have shot it again, but I kinda had to fake and he got up into the air. It's definitely different, but it felt good out there.
On does Theo play more of the four when you guys go small
Yeah, he usually plays the four and honestly, it's mostly on defense. But today, I just moved down to the four. Defensively, we were still able to play the defense we wanted to, so it worked pretty well.
On was there any concern with you or your teammates, when State jumped out to that 13 point lead early
No, not really! Cat was just playing amazing. Sometimes you can't do anything about that when a great player is hitting shots like that. We just tried to keep fighting. We knew they would come out extremely strong and confident, because they were playing us. We just tried to keep playing. We grinded a little bit more on defense, boxed out and got out in transition, that's what got us going!
