We have a lot of guys who didn't come into the season with much playing experience. It's taken a long time to get them to buy into our philosophy, but once they started accomplishing some goals things, started going our way.

They've been playing together since the fourth grade and they can react off each other brilliantly. Whether we need a steal, a block, a rebound, whatever. They'll be the ones to get it.

What's strange is I never really worried. I had this feeling I knew we could score.

They are definitely a physical team. We missed a lot of easy shots and free throws that would've kept the game closer.
