I thought it was better for us not to give them a chance. I just didn't think we needed to play defense.

I think we all sat in our hotel rooms (after the semifinal) and sulked. Once we got in the locker room, we let it go. Wherever we finished is better than people thought we'd do.

It was one of our goals, to start out strong and start quick.

Overall, I was happy with our performance.

[Hebert] has been in a lot of games for us. I thought he gave us the best chance to win and he stepped up.

I'm nothing but proud of our kids. Nobody gave us a chance. I'm sure everyone thought it was going to be a 35-40-point game. There are no moral victories; I just feel good about how we played and the effort we gave. We've made a lot of strides.
