a heck of a game out there, 17 points. Walk us through. What were you feeling tonight? It felt good. My teammates believed in me, you know, my close, believe me, they allow me to get two spots and I try to make it happen for my guys. You know, a couple of weeks ago, you talked a lot about playing unselfish basketball and that, you know, we we see a lot of the passing out tonight, but it was more so that they had the game plan targeting you. I mean, was that some of you guys have been working on a lot more recently. I wouldn't say working on a lot more recently, but it's been an option for us that we've been able to explore at a high level. So it's been working. Do you think you're playing your best basketball at state so far in the past few games so far and so far the emphasis of that. Honestly, just trying to stay focused to stay consistent. Don't get in my head when I missed shots or make a mistake and just trying to keep going next play. You had a smile on your face for a lot of the game, especially in the second half. I can tell you guys are happy playing the way you guys are playing right now, opening up and honestly it feels good. You know, this is a group of guys, We love the game. So it's going to come naturally to us and I'm gonna probably stop playing when I stop having fun. So I'm always smiling teammates give me the ball, put the ball in my hands feeling differently tonight. I mean what translates to your confidence out there? Honestly, when I'm feeling hot, it's something, you know, it's what every player wants when they got the hot and we're going to always share it. So I just try to let it be known at that moment. It just speaks to the team that we have this year. I feel like a lot of people still compared to last year and we're going to go out every time and prove them wrong that this is a new team. This is a new way and we got a new culture. So we're gonna go at people.
