We played our best game of the year so far. We shot well, mixed it up on defense, rebounded and everybody played well.

I'm proud of these players. They worked their tails off last summer, and it paid off.

Alex hit that first shot and fueled us the rest of the game. It was a huge win. If we lost, our title hopes would have been shot.

It will be tough. We play both of the one-loss teams at home. At least we know we control things ourselves and don't need help.

They're a good program and you can't play the way we did against a quality opponent like them and expect to win.

I was a little worried going in, but we went in and we were the aggressor.
