Today was definitely fast. In the beginning guys were having to kill themselves just to get 15 seconds.

I think we, as seniors, tried to motivate people and get them going from the beginning. You get on people. You let them know just to get moving quicker and to execute faster at the beginning of practice. That's what I was doing, just encouraging a fast start to practice.

We said from the beginning that there were going to be ups and downs, and this is going to be particularly bad because we're playing four games in five nights and we're traveling.

I haven't been prouder of a group than this one. Each of them took on a huge burden today to come out and win this, and they did their parts and would have done more if I would have asked them.

The beginning is always today.

I know that in any case, today is the beginning of a drastic democratic transformation.
