Everyone is into it, the energy is good. These were two big wins. When you win two straight games, everyone kind of forgets all the negative stuff.

Coach was saying to make sure that we play hard because he's going to get us in and out of there, and it's important for us to play hard because it gets the other big guys tired physically and mentally. So far its worked for us... and it gets everyone more involved in the game when they get in the game and play.

It feels so good to come here and win. It's my last time and it's just a really good feeling.
