I didn't want to be on the same side of the bracket as Hope because they are playing real strong right now. Being the No. 1 seed tells you just how good they are and how strong they are playing.

That's what they do. I felt that Mora was still going to win. They always find a way to win.

What more can you ask for? We had the opportunities at the end. We had two shots under the basket in the final seconds, and we missed them both. You want the opportunity to take the final shot; we had it. We just couldn't finish.
