All of us are, I guess, in our 40s except for one of us that just crossed the great divide (into 50).

We were lucky. I'm thankful there wasn't much damage. But it was good for us to have to go through the preparations for the storm. This is a good exercise for us to go through at least once a year.

That's Miguel for you. I know because he's done that to us personally during the regular season. You give him a second to line up for that shot and he'll kill you. He definitely kept us alive in this game.

We know that God is going to take us there.

Alex was sticking out at us. To use one of Jerry's terms, he was like a beacon light. I came in [Sunday] morning, and [area scout] Phil Emery was high on Alex. I said, 'Jerry, we've got to take this guy.' I literally had a dream about drafting him.

We played a tough schedule that allowed us to enter the West Regional tournament and we're excited to be there. The team deserves this opportunity.
