No doubt. We know what it takes to beat a team like that. You've got to play them tough, battle them on the glass and possession by possession. It was truly a team effort.

I figured if I didn't try dunking it, I would've gotten it blocked. I had a lane to the basket.

We worked so hard for it and we have been through a lot of adversity this year with our local media and everything. It just feels great to get to this point, but we're not satisfied yet. That's one thing we're going to talk about tonight, we have got another one tomorrow.

That was huge. I mean, they grew up today. This was a big game on a big stage and they both stepped up huge when we needed them to.

We feel great about that, especially after the first game. It was a total team effort.

I came in tonight just completely focused on defense. After what happened to us (with Jackson) on Saturday ... I didn't care if I only got one point.
