Congrats on the massive 106-81 win over Kosovari. How more could you enjoy your 41 point feta with a win?

Thank you! I´m not really sure that there is anything that could have made that win feel any better. It was a great team win that we really needed.

You once had 29 points in a NCAA game. Was this the most points scored for you in your career?

I had games where I scored more than 29 in highschool. But yes thats the highest I scored in college.

What does this feat mean to you being able to score 41 points?

It always feels great to have a great game and get the win. Just trying to help my club win every game and if that means I need to have a big night then I’ll get it done.

How quickly did you that you may have a great scoring day? How rapidly were you in the flow?

It was actually pretty quick. We noticed right away they were playing zone so I knew I would get a lot of opportunities for open threes and they were falling that night.

Did you feel like you were in the zone?

After about the first 2 or 3 threes I definitely felt a good flow and had a great feeling about the game.

You took 19 shots and 5 free throws. Were you happy with your overall aggressiveness or do you feel like you could have been more aggressive?

I was very happy with my aggressiveness I feel like I didn’t force up any bad shots just because I was feeling hot.

You hit for 10 three´s a career high. Did you feel like Steph Curry just a little?

Haha I wouldn’t say I felt like Steph but I definitely felt good out there.

The team had 30 assists. How blessed do you feel that your teammates were able to find you so well?

Feels great knowing they trust me to take and make shots for them consistently every night.

Does a game like this raise your confidence to be able to break 41 points in the future?

A game like that definitely boosts your confidence a little bit but I try not let the highs get to high or lows get to low. Every game is different.

Did you get any special messages from family and friends that you won´t forget?

My family and close friends I will always be grateful for them and their words of encouragement.

Will you take your team out to eat or perhaps get donuts for all?

Now that you mentioned it I might have to find a way to show them my appreciation this upcoming week.

What was your favorite basket of the game?

My favorite basket of the game didn’t even come from me. It was one of our young guys came in the game late and made a tough basket.

Thanks Isaac for the chat.
