They did a nice job of pounding it in against us. Sometimes it's like it's not fair. It's like, take out the 6-5 kid and let's have a game.

I'm actually as excited as you can be excited about playing a No. 1 seed. It'll be fun.

At least we know the scouting report. Jim Foster does a nice job, but at least we're somewhat familiar with them. Now, we got to go back to work and prepare to play another tall center.

I already know we're going to see a lot of the same stuff, and he might say the same about us. It's going to be a tough challenge for us, but we accept it. We know we're going up against one of the best teams in the country.

Our teams are close. We really appreciate the men sticking around and cheering us on. They showed us that we can do it.

I am a different person. I'm enjoying it.
