They made every shot they needed to even if the shot clock was running down, hitting tough ones. They really played about a flawless game from my perspective.

They kept telling me on the bus, 'The bomb isn't going to beat us, coach.

Elizabeth and I are going to pledge, personally, one dollar for every fan in attendance. I'm hoping to write a check for $10,000 that night. We are encouraging others to either match that gift or just give whatever they can. Maybe it's 50 cents or a quarter for everybody in attendance. Hopefully that can be something that will motivate others to do the same thing.

Brewer for a couple of minutes just absolutely took the game over.
