We wanted to prove that we deserved the No. 1 seed. We wanted to come out with a lot of energy.

We gave it a great run. We had a great ride for the seniors. This is going to motivate us so much to get back here next year.

We came out and pounded it right at them. We wanted to get off to a good start and we came out with great energy. I think we shocked them.

When we first got to know Coach this past summer, we could tell that he was a nice guy and that we would have fun playing for him.

After the last game, I knew that I wasn't going to let that happen again.

It has been a while, but it was huge to get the monkey off of our backs.
