We had to adjust the tempo. It was difficult -- especially when they came in with that game plan and that zone defense.

We got it right back when we called a timeout. He (coach Terry Posey) just told us to take it slow, find the open gaps and drive to the basket.

It really means a lot, but I'm focused on the team and how we came out. All the hard work and dedication at practice all came together. It feels like a dream.

We didn't do anything different. The overall defense was good today. We pushed the ball and got easy baskets.

We were really focused on them not driving to the hole. I credit our big men for stepping up and taking charges.

It was all on the line. You win or go home. That's how both teams played.
