It was tough. I'm just thankful we won and I've got another chance to play (today). I was biting my nails there thinking that my last game would end that way.
Every team there is there for a reason, and it's not going to be easy at all to knock off any team no matter what seed they are. No one wants to lose their last game. But it's a feather in our cap to be the No. 1 team in the tournament, for sure. We kind of expected to be a No. 1 seed all year around and we know we're deserving of it.
It's a storybook ending and a Cinderella story. Looking at the schedule, you saw the Green Bay regional and Milwaukee with the national championship. We wanted to be there so bad. We knew it would be a great sea of red fans. It was everything it lived up to be in our dreams, and we got it done with blood, sweat and tears.
When we were winning, our practices were (about) grinding each other, getting on each other, yelling and hollering. It's been a little dead out there lately, not as competitive.
I just think if something were to happen and we were to lose he doesn't want us to look like a failure. Because we have helped turn this program around. I think he is trying to point out that even though we haven't won anything yet we've made a lot of strides and gotten the program back into a national contender again.
It was everything it lived up to be in our dreams. We got it done with blood, sweat and tears.
It was like a pee-wee team playing an NHL team. They absolutely smoked us.
I'm just so proud of everyone in this room and we got it done.
