I didn't think I was going to get [tourney MVP]. Tracy got 25. I think we played hard. We knew Hayfield would come out hard because we beat them twice [during the season].

[Tracy McGrady said publicly what we all knew: He didn't always try his hardest last season when he played for the Magic. McGrady told Sports Illustrated that he was so defeated mentally by the losing that] some nights I did slack off. ... Really?

They played hard. They had great athletes. Vince Young was great, like we knew he'd be. But we didn't wrap him up. You can't miss tackles like that and expect to win.

Leo certainly knew his pitching -- don't get me wrong. But McDowell can relate because he played.

Both teams played hard. It was a good win for our team.

If (my players) would have played how they played against Murray, I think we could have been unstoppable. ... But, I think Woods Cross is a great team.
