We needed to play our 'A' game tonight, and we didn't play our 'A' game. But that was because of what they did. That's a very good basketball team.
That was an awfully good basketball team we played. And I think in order to win this game, we had to play our 'A' game. The reason we didn't is because of what they do and how they play.

I told the team after the game not to hang their heads because that was an awfully good basketball team we played. We needed to play our 'A' game. The reason we didn't was because of what they do and how they play.
It's a great feeling, probably as good a feeling as I've ever had. It's just beautiful. These guys have been working their tails off. They dropped a lot of sweat and a lot of hours and they deserve the moment.
