I know what I can do out there so when I get a chance and I do perform, it feels good. So to help my team win and do whatever it takes, take charges and just play hard. It feels good after we get the win.

I know what I can do to show that and prove to Coach how I can play. I've got to work on my defense. That's very key for me to play next year. I know what I have to bring to the table.

It was just a gut check for us. I'm really happy we pulled it out because for a second, I was really scared myself.

It was just a relief for us knowing that Brandon got on the ground and was willing to put his body on the line.

It was pretty bad in the beginning. We couldn't get a bucket. It wasn't a good feeling. I was just anxious to get in and help things go better.

That probably wasn't right to do that. The game was pretty much already over, but what can you do.

It made me remember how I played and how I got my shot and how I had fun in junior college. Doing the little things. That was the main thing of Christmas break: Get back on my game.

That's what I want to do. I want to be able to be able to take one, two charges a game, even more than that if I can. I guess in a way I kind of look for them. That's just part of my game.

The bye factor is huge. You get the extra day off and you're ready to go on Friday. That's crucial for us.

Randolph is quiet. He doesn't really show anything until he's out there on the court. I can almost guarantee Randolph is going to punish these guys.
