We don't want to be caught up with just being there. We're going there to win a state championship. That's our No. 1 goal.

We felt for two or three possessions, we wanted to pull them out of the zone. We thought we'd try that. We just weren't as consistent as we normally are.

I thought our league was very tough and did a great job of preparing us for this. I kept telling our guys to, 'Play your best basketball in February and March.' I think we're doing that. We're playing very well right now.

We showed a lot of guts. Our rebounding and hustle plays got us back in the game, not our offense.

I've got to know him a little. He's come to our (summer) camp the past couple years, and has always been real gracious to help out and never ask for a thing. In fact, one year he got upset because I hadn't called.

We didn't make all the free throws, but we made enough for the win.
