It all starts with taking away Dials. If we can force them to be a 3-point shooting team, and force them to take contested 3-pointers, our chances of success improve dramatically.

Regis has an outstanding three-point shooting team. It will be a real challenge for us to get out to that three-point line and guard their shooters.

We're not really a great 3-point shooting team, but we do better when we get dribble penetration and then kick it back out.

Coach Thompson has been preaching since he got the job that with hard work, anything can happen. And I think today you saw that hard work pay off.

He's been there for us, and he's also been there for his wife. He's like Superman, in two places at one time. I can only imagine how hard it is for him. But we know if we win, we can take a lot of stress off him.

Bad things happen sometimes. I can't look back. I have to be proud of the year we had.
