The first five minutes of the first half and the first five minutes of the second half are pretty important parts of the game. We did a good job of extending the lead in the second half.

Intensity was a big thing. Our whole team was intense and put forth a good effort. You put those two things together and add a couple made shots and that's really the difference in the game.

Overall they came with a very good team. Defensively we played very well. It was just a great team effort to do what we need to do and that's win games.

It feels great. We worked our butts off to be in the position we're in, and it's great that we finally get to be where we need to be.

It shows our fans we have what it takes to win and it shows the conference we're still in it to win it. There's no dying in our team.

Hard work. We're going out there and playing hard and that's all you can really ask. We're doing a good job staying in games and just working hard and forging ahead to get the win is all you ask.
