We knew they weren't going to go away. They came back from 22 points down at their Regional, so we told our guys not to relax. They did exactly what I thought they would do.

We didn't go inside as much as we could have. We should have gone inside more often.

The big guy picked up those two fouls, but I think that actually hurt us because their other guys were quicker. That's when they got out in front of us. We needed to continue to attack the basket, but we kind of lost our composure. We're not a three-point shooting team.

It means a whole lot. I'm more proud of the kids than I am of myself. Law, this is his third straight title game, Foster, his third straight. That's great for the program.

I was pretty much pleased with the way we played. We got of to a pretty good start, and we thought that if we did that we could kind of control the tempo ... speed it up, slow it down. We got a lot of fast break baskets.

We knew it was going to be a challenge ... They're a good team. I talked with them this morning, and I told them, regardless of what happens, just don't quit on me. Just don't quit. Do that, and anything is possible.
