Our goal was to slow down Cage. He's a hell of a player. If he gets going, he's tough to stop. I tried to get in front of him and take pride in stopping him.

When things are going well, you don?t want to change anything about your routine.

We all felt like this was our year. We weren't going down three times.

It's a reality check for us. In the MAC, you can never stop playing and let your guard down. We have to be ready for every team in the tournament, because everyone is going to be coming at you.

He told me he missed it, and I'm going to miss it, too.

First, coach tried to give us this one play, and we didn't know what was going on, so we changed.
