I told the kids that if you think that's a fun environment, wait until next month. I can't wait until (playoff) season.

That was a fun environment. It had to be a huge difference for us. The kids ... used that energy to try to ratchet up our intensity to keep our focus.

I don't shy away from telling you that if we didn't win this game and qualify for the state tournament, it would've been a disappointment for all of us. To get it done in this kind of fashion is very gratifying.

It's unbelievably high. All five starters are in the top 10 in the league in free-throw percentage.

It was a little tougher than maybe it should've been. They made a couple of plays. Give them credit.

(The bye is) a little bit helpful if you look at the bracket.
