We got out on their shooters and we talked. That?s the number one thing we did. Defense won the game for us today.

It was our goal, but the way our season was going, we didn't expect to be there. We had a bad season but stuck together and now we can make it a special season.

I knew they?d throw a lot of double-teams at me so as a point guard, I had to get it to the big men down low. I?m not really about the scoring. If you score 37 points and don?t win, there?s no point. I?d rather score five and win a state championship.

Our defense wasn't doing as well as in the first half. I got the team together and said we had to step it up if we're going to pull this off.

We felt good coming in here. We were hyped up and playing good defense. We didn't let those (first two games of the ECC tournament) bother us. We made sure to play hard.

The defense played fantastic. They gave us the ball and great field position. We didn't do anything offensively until the third quarter. They won the game for us.
