I told them in the time-out he was going to miss one of the free throws and we were going to hit a 3 to win it. It didn't work out exactly the way I planned it but we'll take it.

I feel like an 8-year old kid who just got a bike on Christmas morning. It was a huge sigh of relief to get this win tonight. We told our kids that we had some frustrating losses this season and we could make amends in this tournament. We did a great job of holding off Pisgah's spurts because they can score in a hurry, and we didn't give up when they fought back at us at the end.

We talked to the kids before this week started that we wanted to end the season playing good basketball. The kids responded to that. You want to be playing your best basketball this time of year. It has been a roller-coaster year but now is a good time to peak. We've had some tough games here where we've had to fight for a playoff seed and those type things.
