Inside the Locker Room: Lonny Baxter
 
 March 10, 2000

I just tried to do what I was capable of today. Steve Blake was getting me the ball, and I just tried to score whenever I could. It seemed we were just flying up in the air today going after rebounds. We got out to such a big lead, but we knew they were always capable of coming back so we just kept going at them.

Inside the Locker Room
Throughout Championship Week, ESPN.com and FANSonly.com are presenting an inside look into the ACC tournament from some of the league's top players, including Lonny Baxter of Maryland. For more on the ACC, visit the conference's official web site.

Because everyone doubted us in the beginning of the season, it would be a great accomplishment to show everyone how great a team we are. Getting to the championship game of this tournament would help us do that. Any loss is a failure to this team.

To tell you the truth we have to feel like this is our tournament coming in this year. We haven't been to the finals since 1984, so we want to prove something this year.

We don't have a feel for which one of us is going to have a big game before we get out on the floor. We just come out and play. We do what we got to do, you know. Whether it's me or Terence or Juan or Steve, we all just want to come out and play.

It doesn't matter who we play in the next round. We just want to continue to win, and advance to the championship.
