Sean had a good game for us and Matt Baker also played well.

It certainly was a game of spurts. We kept cutting it down and MSU kept pushing it back up. We challenged the kids and I was happy with the effort.

It's awesome. I can't even describe it. It's something I've dreamed about as a coach for years.

We talked about (starting strong), and our good shooting early paid off down the stretch. And we built on that for a little bit on defense.

I knew Carroll had a run left in them, and it was just a matter of time when it would come. But we've kept our composure all year, and we showed that again tonight.

These guys are a great bunch of kids who were fun to coach. I have been so lucky since I have been here to coach great kids. And our seniors have had a great run. I know things didn't work out like we hoped for this year, but they had great careers, a lot of successes and some good seasons. They can hold their heads high because they gave it everything they had.
