I'm definitely going to try to establish an inside game for our team. I'll try to get open shots outside, but I'm going inside first.

Mainly, we've been in every game at the end. But we haven't been executing like we know we can at the end of games.

There wasn't anyone near the shooters. They're too good of a shooting team to give open shots to. We just laid down. That erased everything we'd done in the first half.

We relied more on our inside game. I found myself getting a lot of open 3-point shots that I don't normally get.

Mt. Juliet is a great team and they have a great inside and outside game. If they are on, teams have a hard time stopping them. We did a good job as a team. We worked hard and did our best to lock up defensively. What can you say when things don't go your way? We worked hard and no one expected us to get here.

I think Gray made me a better player. I think we made each other better. The first game, he shut me down. The second game, I kind of took away something from him. And the third game, we both scored a little bit, but he got the better of it in the Big East tournament.
