I've never been scared to go up. I like taking contact because I think I almost finish better with contact.

I don't know what it was this year but there was something about us and we bonded and came together. That was kind of our motto, 'Together we stand.' And that's how it was, together we fall. It's not always your night but looking back, it feels good.

I was surprised because he wasn't trying to block my shot. Every time I went at him, he backed off and it was kind of surprising.

Definitely! It didn't feel good (Thursday) night getting honorable mention, but that's just motivation for me.

We knew we were going to get their best shot; we got their best shot tonight. We were a possession away from being out of the game. We basically waited until the last possible second.

We didn't think so. We came in saying that we'd beaten them three times, no problem beating them a fourth.
