We were kind of tired because (Cresset) ran a man defense at us the whole night. We also made some sloppy passes, and they had a huge height advantage.

The water was pouring in at that point, and I can't say it was fun anymore. It was scary. It was really, really windy and you could hear trees falling.

Ten's enough. It's going to have to be. I think we've done pretty well with it because everybody knows they're going to have to go in.

Since the losses, the intensity has picked up a little more. I guess we're not getting away with as much now. She's gone back to the old ways of being tough, really.

It's a little bit different, but I think we're going in with the same mentality. Last year was a great team, but I think this one can surprise some people, too.

For us, that's in the past. We know it's ours, and that's it. But they look at it like, 'Hey, they won it last year. If we knock them off, maybe we have a shot.' So you know you have to bring it every night.
