This was a big win for us. We stepped up and played with a lot of energy tonight. We made some turnovers at the end, but we came together and played well.

We didn't execute down the stretch. We didn't rebound during key possessions and that cost us the game.

I really admire Rickey Bustle because he kept us up when everybody's head was down. He came in and said we would run the table and everybody believed him. They knew we could do it.

I had a good year, but those guys had good years, too. It could have gone to any of us. I know it was a tough vote.

If Nelson keeps working at things and keeps believing in himself, he can go a long way.

That's the only negative about this. These kids have been working hard all year for a win like this. It's just too bad it had to come on Mike's night.
