Willie's motor is always running. We don't like him to be off the floor any major length of time.

A large amount of my time was spent running around - I think I made at least five trips to several places before I got them to commit.

I told them and halftime that we were playing down to a different level. We had to rise up and make them play to our level. We came out and played hard, and I challenged the seniors and they were able to step up.

We stress foul shooting. It is something we place great importance on every day. It paid dividends tonight.

To reach this level was really a dream come true. In this tournament, realistically, we were a small fish in a big pond.

I think our fans are enjoying this as much as our players, coaches and cheerleaders.
