I've never really had a solid, legitimate post game where I felt comfortable with my back to the basket. I could fake it, but my confidence wasn't that high. Now I'm getting it because I have something to work with.

We had some defensive lapses early in the game and then we found a way to get back into the game. Then we fell apart at the end. We played hard, but I'm not big on taking positives from losses like this.

I think it's just a testament to how good of a coach and person he is. He can't make us run suicides or punish us for not being here. We wanted to do this. We wanted to be here to show our appreciation. He's a great guy and a great coach and everybody's here to show love for him.

If you don't think you can make the playoffs, then what's the point of even stepping on the court to begin with? Will we make the playoffs? Who knows? But that's our mentality.

It made me feel real special, all warm inside,

It seemed almost surreal. I'd envisioned myself in this position a million times, and yet it didn't feel like it was really happening.
