It was tough coming down those steps for the last time.
Definitely, we all talked about it. We knew how they came in here and beat us pretty heavily last year. We didn't want to let that happen again, so we just came out with a great mindset, great intensity and really focused on our game plan.
We knew we never should have been in that position last year anyway for the game to be decided on that call.
The last two years, Coach Wright's been real in depth with what he wants us to do. He definitely defined everyone's roles on the team. He basically just bases the offense on guys doing what they do best.
When I was on that floor and couldn't see anything, that was one of the first things I was thinking about, I'd probably be blind. I thought I was. I couldn't see anything. Everything was burning. Pretty much, my life just flashed in front of me.
We are here to take care of business.
The real good teams and the real great teams find a way to win.
Like I've said before, teams are coming after us. That's why we've been in so many of these close games. Every team that plays us comes with their best.
Like Randy said, this is going to hurt for a while.
It definitely wasn't a goal for us. We didn't sit back and say we wanted to win the Big 5 championship. It's just something that comes.
It didn't surprise me. I thought I shot pretty well in practice. I have a lot of confidence in my shot and I wasn't even thinking about my eye.
I think Kyle does a great job of finding the guys who know how to score.
Surprisingly, it's not that hard to block things out. You just go up there confident, with a clear head.
That comes with experience. We've been through this. We know we can come back if we put our mind to it.
