The kids really stepped up. They played as one. All week long in practice we've been talking about playing as a team, creating shots for each other and making the extra pass.

We wanted to run to neutralize (Amity?s height advantage). We spend a lot of time in practice running the floor ..Our big people were running as well.

In the big picture it was one of 20, but I think the kids gained a lot of confidence beating a very good team. We have so many things on which to improve, we're pretty much on an even keel.

Talking to Scotty (Stevens), he has kids and he enjoyed taking his son Ryan to football practice. I could hear it in his voice. I know that Ron Francis has a huge estate in Carolina and he loves it. Those guys never had a chance to take a year off before and they got used to it.

I had whispered in her ear (earlier) that if you get the ball to take the shot. She missed the first one but the second one, that?s what kind of kid Sarah Brown is, she has no conscience. The second one, bang for a three and the game-winner.

We were one and done. We missed outside shots and we weren't able to get offensive rebounds. Their size was a factor. They beat us on the boards.
