Our sophomores understand where there are. We're in good shape physically. Mentally, I think we're fine. We just have to go out and play and see where the chips may fall.
That was a concern of mine (playing zone) because I thought they were great shooters as well. They shot less than 25 percent (from 3-point range), so it worked for us.
It's a special thing to be one of the top four. This couldn't have happened to a better group of guys.
We did what we were supposed to do. We got the lead and got it up to 19, and then we just kind of put it on cruise control. We did that both halves. We've got to have a killer instinct.
I credit the officials. They did a really good job of calling fouls in the post and cleaning it up right away down there. Obviously, whenever you go to a zone, it limits inside play and dares them to shoot outside.
That's the way our basketball team needs to play. That's the style we've chosen to play. We're not as fast maybe as we've been in the past, but when you've got big guys, that's the way it works.
They've got guys who can score. According to the coaches in the league, they've got a better big guy (Moss) than what we've got. I don't believe that, but he's an awful good basketball player regardless of where he was ranked. Nolan can really score with the ball, and he's as good a scorer as anybody in our league.
You can't have a lot of critical injuries or sicknesses coming down the stretch.
We made a couple of 3-point shots that were key. We shot a little less than 40 percent from the 3-point line, and that's always good for us.
