I think we've come back a lot this season. We never, ever give up, especially in a state tournament game.

The state tournament is a possibility for us. Especially if we have the same teams in our region as last year. A lot of it has to do with the fact that we're going to be driven. He lost in the regional finals last year, that'll motivate us.

He showed improvement all season long and that paid off with a trip to the state tournament.

Two more minutes is all we needed. If we would have got going sooner, it might have been different. We just got started too late.

Defense is what it is all about; that's what wins championships. I love playing hard-nosed, aggressive defense. That's the way I like teams to play me, too. We just got after it.

Getting to the championship game with an undefeated record is great, especially with the way our season [the Gators entered the tournament 7-22] has gone thus far. We can take a lot from this week, whether we win the championship or not. We've played pretty well.
