I didn't go out that much or hang out with my friends too much because of my family. I really wanted to spend some time with them because last year I spent my time with the national team, so this year it was a chance to spend some time with them.
Last year they won the national championship, this year they lost six players, but they're still playing pretty good. It's a good experience for me playing that big of a game.
We never gave up. It just showed how tough we are. We played hard to the last second.
We've got to be careful. The last game, they made lots of shots and we played pretty bad defense. This time, we've got to step up and do our jobs from the first minute, the first second. We have to try to continue to keep playing like that for 40 minutes.
It's fine; you've got to play someone like that sooner or later. It can't be any tougher than playing Illinois in Chicago (in last year's Elite Eight).
