I think we just had big plays at the right time for us.

All the tradition that goes into it means a lot. At the beginning of the season, this was one of our goals and we took it seriously.

It took us awhile to settle in to what we wanted to do. Part of it was that Storm Lake gets you to play the way they are.

The biggest part of that was their press turned us over probably three, four, five times in a row and they converted that into baskets. Once that happened, we couldn't get it stopped.

Any time you advance in the tournament, you have to feel good about that. You just want to get that first one out of the way. The good thing now is we played tonight and we have four days of preparation to get ready for that next game. That's to our advantage, I think.

You could tell we hadn't played in a week and we've had a hard time playing on that floor anyway. It was good to go over there and get a win and get the heck out of there. I think that might be the lowest point total we've held anybody to all year long.
