We really stress taking one game at a time and I think to have a streak like that, you have to focus with one game at a time in mind. Really, (the streak) doesn't have any effect on us.

I didn't even know about the streak to be honest. It's my first year. We're just taking it one game at a time, and I'm happy for the kids. They deserve it.

I think there is less pressure here than what we faced in the conference tournament. You come from a one-bid league, that's pressure. And when you go into that conference tournament undefeated and you're supposed to win, that's pressure. This isn't pressure.

It wasn't pretty. It was a closer game than the score indicates.

I think we're all aware of what's at stake. But we can't get ahead of ourselves. Taking one game at a time is what's put us in this spot.

Sometimes you get streaks in a game. Cold and hot streaks and I think we just found that streak and we just started playing hot defensively.
