So, I'll go out with a good bang and a good memory,' said Blatche in SGA 's media availability on Sunday.'I mean, it's pretty important. Like I said, I want to go out there.
Certainly, Blatche remembers that like it just happened yesterday and he wants a redemption from that heartbreaker of a loss.'You know, it definitely was a bad taste. Definitely, I got hurt in the first quarter of that game. And to lose by a buzzer beater, that definitely hurt it,' said Blatche.'We had to sit there and watch them celebrate for about two hours. So, that definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. And I want to go out there and return the favor.
