It's a reward to our kids for their hard work for the last 115 or 116 days. To be able to play a championship game at their home place, they have earned the right to play it, but they haven't earned the right to win it.
The kids held themselves responsible for not making the playoffs last year, and that gave us an opportunity to compete for the tournament championship. They took it upon themselves to make sure they got better.
At this moment we're disappointed. To say you're one of the final eight teams is a great accomplishment. At this point in time it feels terrible. Tomorrow it will feel a little bit better, and the day after that it will feel a little bit better.
Obviously Nick worked very hard and he and Gian Paul have been going at it for three years. So it's nice that Nick gets some accolades today.
(Cameron's) grandmother used to come to games. His grandfather was there, and it's very emotional. So I know that some of the guys wanted to win this game for him.
We've been able to grind out this long season and make a few shots and get some defensive stops.
We were hoping to play at home so friends and family members could see us. If they want to support us, they're going to have to go to a little warmer weather.
We're a step closer to our goal of winning our next game so we're happy that we're able to play.
We feel like if we can impose our will on the defensive end, it will give us a chance to be successful.
