I'm really proud of our kids and their defensive effort. We held them to seven in the fourth quarter and we had about five defensive stops in a row in the fourth that turned the game for us.
They've been in almost every one of their games. Mike's done a nice job over there. Their kids know how to compete and we have a lot of respect for them and their program.
We've dealt with some adversity on the season, but our kids know we're never really out of a game. It was defense and rebounding that got us back in it.
We've battled adversity all year and have been in those kind of situations. Our kids know they're never out of a game. But it looked pretty bleak there for a bit.
One of the big benefits is getting our kids away from home, sharing (motel) rooms. The camaraderie, the team-building that takes place is a great benefit.
Our kids are up for the challenge. We're pretty excited for that game.
