Seniors are playing for a lot when it comes to tournament play because they know it's their final shot. But it does ultimately come down to players who can play and I don't think you have to be in a certain class.
Like we told them in the locker room, I'm extremely proud of this team and what they've been able to accomplish. Everyone's playing their best, playing with confidence and hoping to build on the momentum that we've got here.
This team has a lot of confidence in themselves and we probably feel like we have more veteran leadership and experience. We feel like we're playing our basketball.
Coming up to the arena, most of the players had no idea what we were doing. It showed them what we were playing for.
I'll tell you, all season long this team's been playing with a chip on their shoulder, and I really felt like they have had to fight for respect every step of the way. I'll tell you, they got a lot of believers after tonight and the performance they put on.
