It's real special when two teams bring everything they have to a championship basketball game. Both teams played exceptional defense, and this one feels good.

We played about 10 minutes of real good basketball. I don't know if it was our best stretch this season, but we played strong.

We did a good job of executing on defense in the first half. But we missed scoring opportunities after turnovers.

We had our best half of basketball all year. Our defense was outstanding. We started to go a little individual in the second half.

We played basketball like it is supposed to be played. We moved the ball, we played good defense, we took care of the ball, and we shut down their top player. It was a great first quarter for us.

We had enough offense to win this basketball game. We just didn't have enough defense.
