When we got that lead at the end of the third quarter, beginning of the fourth, I thought we're in pretty good shape.

We had the kids we wanted on the line.

We got some unbelievable contributions. I think that's one of the reasons we're difficult to defend because it's going to be a different guy every night.

We did all kinds of things to to take their minds off shooting.

When we started the season, we knew this team would have trouble shooting free throws. And we did all kinds of things to try to take the kids' minds off it. Everyone on our bench knew it could come back to haunt us, and it did. I remember thinking three weeks ago, this could cost us a state championship.

We held them 14 points under our goal and any time you can do that, it's pretty good.

We knew they were a little undersized going in. We worked hard and we stuck to our game plan.
