Nate Harris Quotations

Guys hit free throws down the stretch, so that really helped us out.

I think it's a combination of a lot of things. We have a good arena, we always get a good crowd, and the travel is difficult for teams coming in here.

We are just glad we are in the championship game. Whoever it may be, we just need to be ready to go.

We want to focus on one game at time but at the same time we know we have to win out in order to get the highest seeding we can ? a chance to get second or a chance to get third. We don't want to fall down into the fourth or fifth spot; that would be bad for us.

Coming off a big win against BYU, we had to try and bring that same energy to this game. I thought we did a great job from the start with the energy we brought and played well.

I thought we responded great. We expected things like this to occur and the guys have responded and played well.

It's easy to relax when you jump out to a 13-1 lead. After that, they pretty much beat us the rest of the first half. We kind of relaxed a little bit after getting a big lead. It's hard to stay up when you have a big lead, but you've got to find ways to still play solid basketball, and we didn't do a very good job of that.

We gave them all they could handle on their home floor. We had our opportunities to win.

We always thought we could do it, that's what has made it a little more sweeter this year. People have counted us out sometimes, we've been proving them wrong all season. It's good to be here.

We always thought we could do it, a lot of people probably didn't think we could. That has made it a little more sweeter this year. ... It's good to be here.
