The kids just had that look in their eyes. I knew we were ready.

We stopped being aggressive in the fourth quarter and got careless with the ball. But I'm super proud of what the kids did tonight. They gave it everything they had.

They outplayed us. You have to give the other team credit. They wanted it more than we did.

We played just hard enough in the fourth quarter to get the job done.

It's real simple, our defense. We live and die with our defense. It's what carries us.

His scoring went down at the end of the season, and that was because of two reasons. One, down the stretch, every team was stepping up its defense against him. And two, we had more people scoring for us.

With a couple of bounces here and there, it's a different game. Our shots just didn't fall down the stretch.

The key was the end of the third.

He gave us that player that every team had to concentrate on.
