It was just like when we played them during the regular season. We knew a good start against them is pretty important, otherwise they get comfortable like they did in the second half.

It takes getting the ball inside and then it loosens up guys on the outside.

I'm real proud of them. Both of them have been playing real hard since they were freshman. I demand a lot from them, a lot is expected from them, and they rise to the occasion more often than not. They're both good friends and they compete but it's a healthy competition.

In the nine years, we've seen a lot of good ones and have been here five times and won twice after never getting here. These seniors really wanted to get back and we got back here. I feel like we've come full circle.

We hit eight 3s early, then hit our foul shots in the last minute.

We weren't ready to play. They got a huge lead and never recovered from it. In all honesty we didn't have any place to go.
