Quotes and Notes

  • "It felt great," said Goodwin about his three-pointer with 0.8 remaining in regulations. "I missed a couple of threes before that. I didn't want to get down on myself. Big time players make big time shots."
  • Broadcaster Aaron Thomas: "How big was it to see those threes start to hit the bottom of the net in the second half?" 

White: "I don't even know what to tell you. I didn't think I was going to make it, but you have to stay consistent when you're a shooter and stay confident. Like coach Taylor said, 'just keep shooting your shots and whatever happens, happens.'"
