In the State Tournament there are only two teams from Louisville, but you consider (the LIT) has all the best from Louisville and several others. We're just happy to be a part of such a great tournament.

It came down to what's beneficial for the league to get the most teams in the tournament. But I don't think they envisioned a league with eight teams in the Top 25.

The state tournament is a possibility for us. Especially if we have the same teams in our region as last year. A lot of it has to do with the fact that we're going to be driven. He lost in the regional finals last year, that'll motivate us.

Our schedule is difficult. But if we can't beat good teams, we don't deserve to be in the state tournament. We have our work cut out for us over the next 10 games.

We consider Miami one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference so we see it as a test each and every time. They beat on us last year in the playoffs so we wanted to come out and see how we could fix it and just compete with them. We competed with them before but we just weren't on their level.

I know [that against Louisville] I didn't have my best game but I have to look forward and keep playing. The season isn't over. There are still 15 games to be played.
