I felt good the whole night shooting the ball. Coach always does a great job of telling me to keep shooting and instilling confidence in me.

I think it's good that coach is keeping us focused, making sure we're not doing anything that we shouldn't be doing to take any energy away from us.

Road trips are pretty much the same. Coach keeps a tight rein on us. We never leave the hotel. Every game this whole year we've prepared for the same way as we have these tournament games. We watch film on every team, watch film at every meal and have a shoot-around. Coach does a good job. That's probably why he does it early on.

Coach has a good personality. We're with him a lot. We get to see all the different sides of him. He is intense especially at practice, but he is good at coming up with some quick comments to throw out at us. He is a fun guy to be around, on and off the court. He's not always business.

Coach Donovan told me at halftime to keep shooting.
