We made it a point that we had to close out even harder to the shooter so they wouldn't get an easy shot off. We knew that was what we had to do because they came out on fire in the first half.

Playing that game in that atmosphere, and playing with the No. 1 team in the nation, just gave us confidence that we can play with anybody in the nation, and keep up with anybody, and beat just about anybody.

It makes it hard, because we know we can win the games. We just have to keep our heads up and keep on coming back every game and come back hard.

They hit a lot of shots with hands in their faces. They just caught fire.

I?m just happy that our weather is coming in [today] and not Friday.

The soda fountain will be open all evening long.
