I had role models in my community, guys that were older than me and played at university or on the national team. Eli Pasquale was always around UVic when I was a young player, and the national team was around Victoria a little bit, so I got to watch those guys and learn from them.
I thought we just played really solid tonight. It would be nice to be 3-2 up but we're in a position now where we can ride the momentum and let it all hang out in LA.
We haven't played well offensively. We haven't really clicked, and that's frustrating, but at the same time our defense has really picked up, and given us an opportunity to win in all three of our losses.
We played pretty well tonight. They made some phenomenal shots in the fourth quarter. At some point, you've just got to congratulate them.
A lot of guys shot the ball well, and I thought we played extremely hard defensively even though they made a lot of shots. It was a pretty solid performance.
