We came out in the third quarter and played like we're capable of. Maybe fatigue was a factor, but we play about seven guys who are carrying us right now, and we're riding them pretty hard. If some (other) guys would grow up a little bit, maybe we could play them a little more.

What I really look at is the resurrection of the basketball program. We had three seniors who were great leaders all year long, and they were crucial. Their leadership and their work habits set the tone as to how practice went. No one gave us a chance to be where we are, in this game, let alone getting 16 wins, and I can't say enough about those kids in that locker room.
