I did some stuff that I can really use in a game, like the way I'm posting up. I can read how the defender is playing me. Whatever I'm doing in the post, I can get an open shot. Also, on my shooting, I can use more legs, and those are small things that can help you a lot.
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'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.
They were playing terrific games. They were making tough shots, and they were making the shots that were most important.
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).
