His play did not surprise me. I have a lot of faith in Jesse.

This is a first for us, as far being in position to play our way into something that matters. We tried to emphasize to our kids the importance of this game.

We've won a lot of games before, so you don't want to get really excited about a first win. But it's hard to not be excited when your first win comes 13 games into the season, after Christmas. This is what we want to use as a springboard as we get hot and heavy into conference play.

It is a dream come true but we had amazing faith in each other after the semi-final.

Without faith I wouldn't be standing here.

It always restores my faith in the human race, just to be treated so well. It's a recharge of my batteries, to experience the different cultures.
