This has to rank as the number one game since I've been coaching. To end in such a dramatic fashion on these guys' Senior Day, you couldn't ask for a better way to close it out. They deserve full credit for it. They worked hard all game.

We just wanted to make sure that we kept great pressure on them. We made sure we put them in situations that they had to make plays. We did not allow them to get into any sort of rhythm. It played a major role in why they shot the percentage they shot.

We showed toughness down the stretch. We had to pick up our defense. I think that was one of the very few games where our experience really paid off for us.

Our defense allowed the game to be played at a much faster pace and I think that was the difference.

We went through probably about 12 minutes where we couldn't score a basket. That's still an area of concern and where we have to improve.

Either let them do it or don't. Don't tell them 'hey you can go do this' but not let them take any money.
