They had respect for us and we had respect for them. Hopefully they come out and support us the next game, too.

There's a lot of emotion in this game with the crowd and the atmosphere.

I still think about that loss every time we play them. It motivates me.

We got the win, but there are always things you need to work on. We could play them twice more, so we will need to do a better job on the boards.

I don't like to talk about that game.

It's special to me because of how good this tournament is. I'll always regret that I couldn't win a title at Proviso. Hopefully, I left a legacy here.

I think it wore him down a little having to guard me. I was trying to run off screens a lot in the second half and just make him tired.
